“PGA Jr. League is a fun, welcoming and engaging way for boys and girls to learn and play golf,” said PGA President Suzy Whaley, PGA/LPGA. “The number of facilities offering leagues continues to grow nationwide and here in the greater Tacoma area. We’re finding the convenience and sense of community fostered by facilities hosting both practices and matches really adds to the overall excitement around the game.”

Last year, PGA Jr. League reported record-setting numbers, with more than 50,000 boys and girls playing on 4,200 teams nationwide — a 20-percent year-over-year increase. Of those players, 80 percent were beginner or recreational golfers, demonstrating the developmental nature of the program and its inclusivity to youth of all skill levels.

This year, PGA Jr. League’s 16u (16 and under) age division is expanding to a 17u division, to accommodate the growing number of golfers ages 14-17 who have aged out of the traditional 13u program but are still interested in league play.
