The Junior PGA Championship is a leading annual junior golf tournament in the United States for amateur golfers under the age of 18.
Format The tournament has been played since 1976 and is the flagship junior tournament of the PGA of America. The field consists of 156 girls and 156 boys. Half qualify through their PGA Section and the remainder of the field is based on national junior/amateur events and special exemptions.
History Several tournament winners have later gone on to success on the PGA Tour, such as Trevor Immelman, David Toms and Sam Burns. Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods have finished runner-up.
LPGA Tour major winners Jenny Lidback, Grace Park, Inbee Park and Cristie Kerr have all won the event. Heather Farr, Lexi Thompson, Ariya Jutanugarn, Beth Bauer and Aree Song have won twice, and Vicki Goetze is the only player to have won three times.
In 2019, Jack Heath shot a final-round 62 to beat Chris Couch's previous lowest final-round score of 63, set in 1990.
