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 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 players 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.

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. 2024 Players Tour Season Series Points:
● Spring Series (January 1st -May 31st) Boys 12-14: top 2; Boys
15-18: top 4 Girls 12-14: top 2; Girls 15-18: top 4
● Summer Series (June 1st –August 31st) Boys 12-14: top 2; Boys
15-18: top 4 Girls 12-14: top 2; Girls 15-18: top 4
● Fall Series (September 1st – December 31st) Boys 12-14: top 2;
Boys 15-18: top 4 Girls 12-14: top 2; Girls 15-18: top 4

2. 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 May and the second will be held in December.
* Points WILL NOT BE awarded for Qualifying School.

3. Local Qualifiers: There are 15 one-day qualifiers throughout the year. 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 will then need to finish in the top 15 and girls in the top 10 at that TTC Event in order to retain their exemption for the remainder of the year.

4. 2024 Series Championships: The overall champion and runner-up for both boys and girls at each Series Championship will earn a Toyota Tour Cup Exemption.

TTC Exemption Conditions

1. If a player earns an exemption from the Series Championship and the Series Points Race within the same season, an exemption will not be extended to the next player on the Series Championship leaderboard nor the Points Race.
2. The Series Championship TTC exemption will be given to the overall champion and overall runner-up only regardless of the players’ Toyota Tour Cup status.
3. The SCPGA Junior Tour will only drop down to the next player on the Series Points List if a player within the top 4 for the 15-18 division or within the top 2 for the 12-14 division is fully exempt (meaning that the new TTC exemption will not extend the life of that player’s TTC membership.)
   1. If there is more than one fully exempt player at the top of the points standings, the SCPGA Junior Tour will only drop down a maximum of two players.

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.
