Drive, Chip and Putt registration now open for juniors

The USGA, Masters Tournament and PGA of America announced that registration for 2025-26 Drive, Chip and Putt qualifying is now open on DriveChipandPutt.com.

This year will mark Drive, Chip and Putt’s 12th season of qualifying events for boys and girls ages 7-15. The free program, which can be accessed in all 50 states, aims to provide a welcoming environment for youth to participate in golf and focus on the game’s three fundamental skills.

Local qualifying begins May 2 at 357 sites nationwide and will continue throughout the summer. Participants are grouped in separate girls’ and boys’ divisions in four age categories, with scoring centered around skill performance in driving, chipping and putting.

Top performers at the local level will advance through subregional and regional qualifiers in July/August and September/October, respectively.

From these qualifiers, 80 finalists – 40 boys and 40 girls – will earn an invitation to compete in the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday, April 5, the eve of the 2026 Masters Tournament. Qualifiers are facilitated by all 41 Sections of the PGA of America across the country.
