PERFORMANCE
BASED ENTRY
Introduction
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 level 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.
Overview
Through more than 20 years of research on junior golf tournaments,
the AJGA has compiled a list of hundreds of tournaments included
in Performance Based Entry. This includes national events,
other junior tours, regional events as well as events on the
state level.
The AJGA records information on all players (AJGA members
and non-members) who play in a recognized event and meet the
required finish in that event. AJGA members can view their
status anytime in the AJGA Player Center on the AJGA Web site,
ajga.org. Potential members and new members should contact the Player Services Department at (877) 373-2542 with questions regarding PBE status earned before becoming an AJGA member.
By competing in Performance Based Entry-recognized tournaments,
players may increase their "status" with the AJGA.
Players with a top finish at a top national event will earn
Fully Exempt Status and qualify to play in the maximum of
five AJGA Open tournaments per season. Performance Based
Entry is used to determine the fields for all of the AJGA's
Open tournaments in 2011.
