For the first time, all-star teams have an additional pathway to the regionals: beginning at section qualifiers and section championships held by all 41 PGA sections, and/or participating in at least three local All-Star Play Days. With this additional pathway, the number of teams qualifying for each regional tournament has doubled, creating increased access to the Championship Season and more playing opportunities for all-star teams.

To date, 68,000 players are participating in the 2022 season, led by 2,200 PGA Coaches. Additionally, PGA REACH –– the PGA of America’s nonprofit foundation –– has provided nearly 2,500 scholarships to players who qualified for financial assistance or were from a military family.

National Car Rental was named the inaugural title partner of the Championship Season last year. It has been PGA Jr. League’s biggest corporate partner since 2018.
