AJGA Performance Based Entry

In 2003, the AJGA abandoned its tournament selection process that was based on the strength of a tournament application and resume in favor of a Performance Based Entry process. This enables 12-18-year-old members to earn their way into AJGA Open tournaments based on performances at the national, regional and state levels.

 

The entry process clearly defines and answers the question, "How do I gain entry into an AJGA event?" The player's performance, not the AJGA, dictates acceptance into an event. The expanded opportunities to gain entry into AJGA events through success at the state and regional levels ensure all deserving juniors receive an opportunity to play in an AJGA event.
 

The AJGA is committed to providing the best exposure for young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships. The Performance Based Entry process will continue to ensure the strongest fields possible for AJGA events while also providing opportunities for anyone who has earned the right to compete at this level.

Junior Golf Scoreboard

The Junior Golf Scoreboard system is based on a formula that reviews a player's record in 36-hole or longer tournaments over the last 365 days.  Tournaments drop out of the calculation after one year.  A player must have three events within the year to be ranked.
 

The criteria are as follows:

 

  • Scoring Differential:  For the 85 percent of the player's round that are his/her lowest scores, a player's average score is compared to the USGA rating of the courses they played (65 percent weight).
  • Strength of Field:  Whom did the player compete against and how strong were the records of their competitors (25 percent)?
  • Finish:  Average finish of the competitor with consideration given to the size of the field (10 percent).
     

The Junior Golf Scoreboard typically receives results for over 1,100 tournaments worldwide and ranks approximately 5,000 - 6,000 players at any one time.
