championship,” said PGA of America President Ted
Bishop.
All nine PGA Junior Series events will serve
as Junior PGA Championship qualifiers, with the
16-18 boys’ division winner and the overall
girls’ champion earning a spot in the
prestigious Championship.
Each event will feature 54-hole (three-day)
competitions, in addition to The PGA’s 72-hole
flagship junior event, the 38th Junior PGA

The 2013 Junior PGA Championship will be

Columbia, 24 countries/territories and six

Each series event will feature a field of up
