Opportunities

The Players Tour offers nearly 200 opportunities to play competitive golf in a fun atmosphere. The Players Tour offers:

  • Single-Day Events: There are approximately 170 single-day events hosted throughout Southern California.
  • The 2-Day Series: These 14 events are composed of 90 – 112 player fields and the results are submitted to Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) and AJGA.
  • Series Championship: There is a Series Championship at the end of every season that the top point finishers will earn a special invite to. Results are submitted to JGS and AJGA.
  • TTC Local Qualifiers: 15 one-day qualifiers for Girls and 15 one-day qualifiers for Boys to earn a spot in a specific Toyota Tour Cup Event.
  • Qualifying School: 36-hole event offered twice a year that provides the top 10% of the field an exemption into The Toyota Tour Cup.

Ready for the Next Level?

Once in The Players Tour, members can try and qualify for the prestigious Toyota Tour Cup. Here are the different ways players may do so:

1. Toyota Tour Cup Qualifying School: 36-hole qualifying event for a year-long exemption to the Toyota Tour Cup.  Ten percent (10%) of the final field size (boys and girls) will earn an exemption. No age divisions. The first Qualifying School will be held in June and the second will be held in December.  *Points WILL NOT BE awarded for Qualifying School.

2. Local Qualifiers: We will be hosting a local Qualifier for (15) different TTC events.  

*Players Tour Points WILL BE awarded for local qualifiers*

From each qualifier, the top five (5) boys and top three (3) girls will earn exemptions to a specific Toyota Tour Cup tournament. The TTC event name will be listed on the qualifier page.  Players will not have the option to transfer their exemption for a different TTC event.  If they choose to forgo their spot in the TTC event that they qualified for, that spot will go to the next TTC member on the waiting list.

  • Boys who finish in the top 15 of the TTC event will earn an exemption for the remainder of the current season plus the following season.  *For example, if a boy finishes between 11th and 15th at a Toyota Tour Cup event in March, he will retain a TTC exemption for the remainder of the spring and the entire summer season.  His TTC exemption will expire at the end of August.* 
  • Girls who finish in the top 10 of the TTC event will earn an exemption for the remainder of the current season plus the following season.  *For example, if a girl finishes between 7th and 10th at a Toyota Tour Cup event in March, she will retain a TTC exemption for the remainder of the spring and the entire summer season.  Her TTC exemption will expire at the end of August.*
  • All boys who finish in the top 10 and girls who finish in the top 6 will earn their exemptions for the current year and remain exempt for the following year as well.  For the TTC Extended Player Fields we will extend the exemption to the top 15 boys and top 10 girls.  

3. Players Tour Series Championships: Toyota Tour Cup exemptions will be extended to the following:

  • The top 4 overall girls and top 6 overall boys plus ties in the Spring, Summer, and Fall Series Championships will earn a one year TTC exemption.

**For the Spring Series, exemptions will run through the current calendar year plus the spring of the following year. The Summer Series will be exempt for the Fall Series and the next calendar year. The Fall Series will gain exemption into the next calendar year.**

4. Players Tour 2-Day Series Champions: Any player that wins a Players Tour 2-Day Championship will be awarded a TTC exemption for the following two seasons.  For example, if a player wins a PT 2-Day Championship in the Spring Season, they will receive a Toyota Tour Cup exemption for the Summer and Fall Seasons of that same year. 

5. Players Tour Overall Points Race: The top 3 overall girls and top 3 overall boys in the Players Tour Overall Points Race at the end of the year will earn an exemption for the following TTC year.

TTC Exemption Conditions

The Series Championship TTC exemptions will be given to the top 4 girls plus ties and top 6 boys plus ties.  If a player is already fully exempt for TTC (meaning that the new TTC exemption will not extend the life of that player’s TTC membership), we will drop down a maximum of two players in the standings for that Series Championship event.

Important Forms and Documents

Please be sure to review the SCPGA Junior Tour Handbook often as it is the responsibility of the player and spectator to know and abide by the policies listed.

Other forms below include the “Spectator Cart Application” for those spectators who require the use of a cart while on the course. This application needs to be submitted with the required documentation annually.
