The PGA Jr. League is a national program designed to better socialize the game for junior boys and girls, age 13 and under, by creating a “little league” approach to golf. The 2-person scramble format allows young people of all ability levels to be part of a team in a structured league setting without the pressure of individual medal-play competition. Our goal is to create an inviting atmosphere for the young people, recreational at its core and maximizing the fun.

The San Diego County PGA Jr. League (SDCJLG) is a developmental league, which basically means that young people learn how to play the golf course by playing in matches and develop into future tournament players. The League will start in March and run through the end of May, headquartered at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course.

The following is a list of players who have aged out of the League and moved on to high school and college golf:
