Making the Game Better for All Ages
The Southern California PGA Junior Tour’s mission is to create learning and playing opportunities for individuals of all ages and skill levels throughout Southern California. We aim to utilize golf as a vehicle to instill values such as integrity, honor, and patience. The SCPGA Junior Tour strives to foster and develop these values that will positively impact our member’s character on and off the golf course.
Established in 1948, the Southern California PGA now hosts one of the largest and most respected junior golf programs in the country. The SCPGA Junior Tour is a three-tiered program featuring the Toyota Tour Cup, the Players Tour and the Junior Development Tour. Together, these three tours administer over 290 tournaments annually for kids of all ages and skill levels. These events provide playing opportunities throughout Southern California, many of which are hosted by PGA facilities. The Junior Tour boasts countless alumni including Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Lizette Salas, Charlie Wi, Brendan Steele, Danielle Kang, Jennifer Johnson, John Cook, Patrick Cantlay and many more.
The Junior Development Tour is a way for juniors to gain competitive golf experience in a more relaxed and fun environment. It is a way for junior golfers to gain knowledge of the rules, etiquette and competitive nature of tournament golf.
The Players Tour is the flagship level of our program. It is designed to serve juniors of a wide range of playing ability, from juniors that have advanced through the Junior Development Tour, to those looking to earn an invite into the Toyota Tour Cup Series.
The Toyota Tour Cup Series features the best Junior Golfers in Southern California hosted by some of the premiere facilities in the area.
The program offers juniors the opportunity to earn a free, limited-edition personalized Sun Mountain golf bag (the junior’s name will be embroidered on the ball pocket along with the section logo).

Congrats Jay!
Karen Tsuru tames @redhawk_golf_course and claims victory (again)!
🏌️♀️
Needing to overcome a three-stroke deficit going into Sunday's final round, Tsuru sends a message by making birdie on the opening four holes to tie the lead with Anna Huang!
🔥
They battled all throughout the day matching birdie for birdie and were tied at -8 going into 16. That's when Tsuru separated herself from the pack making birdie to take a three stroke lead and was now setting her sights on breaking her own course record (65 in 2019).
⛳️
Charissa Shang posted a -2, 70 to vault up the leaderboard to capture solo third. In her first ever TTC event, Anna Huang held steady posting another round in the red to take solo second at -6 overall. In the end Tsuru made her only bogey of the day on 18, but was still enough to take the 🏆 adding to her amazing #toyotatourcup career!

It was a beautiful weekend filled with great competition at the Toyota Tour Cup @ Industry Hills!

The SCPGA would like to recognize Reina Kearns, PGA and SCPGA Jr Tour Alumna in honor of Black History Month for her achievements thus far in the golf industry.
.
Thanks to the initiative of a former babysitter, Reina Kearns began playing golf tournaments hosted by the Ventura County Junior Golf Association so that her babysitter would be able to watch Reina and her two kids at the same time. Reina then became an SCPGA Jr Tour member at 13 years old. She attended CSU: Long Beach from 2007-2011, and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. Later, she began her golf career at River Ridge Golf Club in her hometown of Oxnard, CA and enrolled into the PGM program in 2013. Two of Reina’s most notable accomplishments are:
.
2015 SCPGA Women’s Match Play Champion
.
2016 SCPGA Women’s Apprentice Play of the Year
.
Whilst working at River Ridge GC Reina had her first daughter in 2019, with whom she loves to spend time with along with her husband and 3 pugs. Administering tournaments is her favorite part about working in the golf industry.
.
Reina is currently the Assistant Golf Professional at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake (July 2020). She aspires to become a Head Golf Professional whilst attaining her LPGA Membership.
.
We asked Reina, what does it mean to you to be in this industry as one of the few Black Female PGA Members?
.
“I hope that other young women see that it’s possible to love what you do for a living. Their background, color of their skin or gender should be embraced because it makes them unique and adds that much more character to this wonderful organization. “ - Reina Kearns, PGA
