Important Notes

• Players are limited to five Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series events per year. The year-end Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series Championship is an invitational and does not count toward that total.
• Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series events DO count toward the AJGA tournament maximum of FIVE.

Junior Golf Scoreboard Rankings Eligibility

To be eligible to be ranked in The Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings, a player must meet the following criteria:

• Have competed in three multi-day stroke play tournaments within the last 52 weeks for which we have received the results and they are listed by the same name and hometown.
• Have their high school graduation year in their tournament record. Missing yours? Read the next paragraph.
• Still be in high school or prior to August 1st after graduation.
• Have competed in an age group that:

a. completes at least 36 holes
b. has a minimum of five (5) competitors that complete all scheduled rounds, AND
c. has played from a minimum of 4, 500 yards and not shorter than the forward most USGA rated tees.

The rankings are a work in progress and some names might be missing because we do not have a player's graduation date and/or we do not have results for them for the required minimum of three tournaments. Please e-mail staff@juniorgolfscoreboard.com with any questions.
