The girls’ competition is set to take place from July 14-16, followed by the boys’ showdown from July 20-22. Can you imagine the thrill and intensity unfolding over those few days? Players from nearly all 50 states will be hitting the links, and what’s even more exciting is that North Carolina will be represented by a whopping 22 participants, along with a player traveling all the way from Guam!

A Tradition of Excellence

This isn’t the first time the PGA High School Golf National Invitational has graced Pinehurst; in fact, it’s making a return for three consecutive years after being held here from 2020 to 2022. Since its inception in 2019, the event has grown in stature and popularity, and this edition promises to be one of the best yet.

What’s the Format?

Now, how does this tournament work? The competition spans three adrenaline-packed days featuring a 54-hole stroke-play format. This means that each golfer will try to make as few strokes as possible over those rounds. Girls will navigate the tricky challenges posed by Pinehurst Nos. 1, 6, and 7, while the boys will have their hands full on Pinehurst Nos. 5, 6, and 8. Every hole is an opportunity to showcase their skills and perhaps even create a memorable moment!

Celebrating Winners from Across the Nation

The talent on display will be phenomenal, as all participants have achieved remarkable success by winning their respective high school state championships, whether individually or as part of a team. It’s a thrilling way to see the future stars of golf in action! Last year in 2024, the California SMC team claimed victory in the girls’ division, with a jaw-dropping total score of 55-under-par 809. Meanwhile, the boys’ defending champions, Georgia’s RVA team, look to maintain their stronghold after winning with a record score of 12-under-par 852.

What’s at Stake?

For those who excel in this esteemed competition, there’s much more than just bragging rights! The top medalists in both girls and boys divisions will earn coveted exemptions into not just the 2025 Junior PGA Championships, but also the 2026 North & South Junior Amateur. This could be a major stepping stone in their golfing careers.

Recognizing a Great Organization

The PGA of America, responsible for this grand event, operates the National High School Golf Association, dedicated to promoting high school golf and uplifting players, coaches, and communities alike.
