PGA Junior League hopes for June start

PGA Jr. League’s commitment to player and coach safety necessitates the elimination of national and regional tournaments that require air travel. Accordingly, PGA Foundation, Inc. (dba PGA REACH) has announced that the 2020 PGA Jr. League Championship and Postseason have been canceled due to ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19.

The PGA Jr. League championship and postseason were planned for 12 regional sites around the country, with the championship at Grayhawk Golf Club, in Scottsdale, Ariz., Oct. 8-11. 

PGA Jr. League is committed to maximizing local playing opportunities in 2020 that adhere to national, state and local social distancing standards. 

PGA Jr. League local leagues will provide a path for kids to engage in youth sports under the leadership of PGA and LPGA coaches, in alignment with Opening up America Again Guidelines and ongoing plans to reopen the game of golf in a phased approach. By combining summer and fall leagues, local leagues can maximize flexibility with schedules and structures by supporting play during the rest of the calendar year.

PGA Jr. League is targeted June 1 as the earliest date to allow local leagues to resume activities, provided that the resumption of activities shall only be allowed in localities that are in Phase II of the Guidelines, based on state and local health authorities.  For more information, visit www.pgajrleague.com.
