DripGolf Tour

The Carolinas PGA does not operate a season-long junior tour; it runs the section Junior PGA Championships plus a handful of junior events and supports PGA Jr. League and Drive, Chip & Putt. Most Carolinas juniors play the CGA/TYGA, SCJGA or Peggy Kirk Bell tours.

The Carolinas Golf Association conducts the region's premier junior championships for North and South Carolina and publishes boys' and girls' rankings for both states. Day-to-day tour play is delivered through its junior division TYGA (NC) and partner SCJGA (SC).

A girls-only tour run by the non-profit Girls Golf of America out of Greensboro, NC, the PKBGT stages more than 110 tournaments a year across nine East Coast states. Players compete in yardage-based divisions (Discovery, Futures, Prep, Bell National) rather than age brackets so they can move up as their game grows.

Established in 2014 in Easley, the GSA Junior Golf Tour gives Upstate South Carolina juniors at least one open, no-qualification event a month within about an hour of home, with a separate collegiate division in summer. Results feed TUGR and Junior Golf Hub rankings.

Now in its 34th edition, this winter series gives high-school golfers eight 36-hole events on Sandhills courses such as Pinehurst No. 5, Mid Pines, Pine Needles and Talamore during the off-season. Membership is capped at 200 players.

SCJGA is South Carolina's statewide junior body and a Carolinas Golf Association partner, with a five-level pathway from the Hootie Series up to national events. It maintains the Heritage Classic Foundation Rankings and names a Player of the Year.
