No other sport devotes more time and resources to developing junior players than does golf. And no other organization offers more playing opportunities than The PGA of America, with more than 1,650 junior events conducted through its 41 Sections each year. That's
why PGA.com is proud to provide comprehensive coverage of three prominent junior series designed to
educate, challenge and inspire the game's stars of tomorrow: The Callaway Golf PGA Junior Series,
the Westfield Junior PGA Championship and the Junior Ryder Cup.
Six boys and six girls, who are 2007 high school graduates or younger, will represent the USA Junior team in the Junior Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor, Sept. 18-19, 2006 in Wales, U.K.
Celebrating its 11th year of providing competitive tournaments for juniors ages 13-18, the Callaway Golf PGA Junior Series attracts boys and girls from 50 states, 18 countries, and six continents.
One of the premier events in junior golf, the Westfield Junior PGA Championship brings together the best young golfers 18 and younger competing over 72 holes for this prestigious national title.
