Ralph Miller helped form the Southern California Junior Golf Association in 1948. Upon his death in 1974, the Association commissioned the Ralph Miller Medal to be awarded to the boy and girl members of the program who earned the most points in recognized events.
The Ralph Miller Award is a prestigious award given to the top boy and girl junior golfers within the Southern California PGA Junior Tour program. This award has a points system that is used to rank the top players within the SCPGA Junior Tour based on the finishes they had within some of the largest and most prestigious events in the country. There was a long list of potential winners for this iconic award but two golfers within our program really seemed to stand out.

Beginning in 1965, the Southern California Junior Golf Association began awarding the Curtis Cup to the player or players who displayed the best character, integrity, sportsmanship, scholastic achievement, golfing ability and golf accomplishment.
In 1987, the SCPGA Junior Golf Association began to choose both a boys and girls All-Southern California Junior Team to recognize the top golfers from among all of Southern California’s junior ranks. Since 1965, the perceived best boy and girl from the All-Southern California Junior Teams has been named the Curtis Cup Player of the Year.
The player receiving the most number of votes from the All Southern California Junior Teams ballot becomes the Curtis Cup Player of the Year. The Curtis Cup Award is given to the top boy and girl junior golfer within Southern California. We take into account all the tournaments they have played in the previous year and score them based on their finish within those events.
