SWPGA Junior Prep Tour

The Southwest PGA Junior Prep Tour features a series of one-day tournaments held in June for boys and girls ages 11–18 years old. The tour is divided into six (6) Districts across Arizona and Southern Nevada, with five (5) one-day tournaments held in each District.

Players can earn a spot in the season-ending Southwest PGA Junior Prep Tour Championship at Oakcreek Country Club Sedona, Arizona. Qualification is based on regular season performance, requiring participation in at least three events and meeting the designated stroke average for their age division (calculated after the 4th event in the season).
