About the PING Junior Golf Tour

High quality, professional events for junior golfers aged 6 to 21, at some fantastic venues across the UK. Somewhere to compete, make new friends and create memories that last a lifetime.

Who we are

Built on fifteen years of junior golf

The PING Junior Golf Tour (PJGT) was established in 2024 following a long-standing relationship with the Northern Junior Golf Tour, which has been the leading junior golf tour in the North of England since 2009.

We pride ourselves on delivering high quality, professional events for junior golfers aged 6 to 21, at some fantastic venues across the UK. Every event is led by a team of passionate individuals, uses live scoring through the Golf Genius app, and gives players a hole-by-hole account of how they are doing within their division.

Our aim is to provide an unrivalled experience where players can compete, make new friends and create memories that last a lifetime. We see it as a real family affair, so parents, family and friends are encouraged to come along, enjoy the tour and soak up the scenery at some of the most picturesque golf courses in the country.

The season runs as an Order of Merit on each tour, building towards the Grand Final in September.
