Toyota Tour Cup

Membership for the Toyota Tour Cup is invitation only, which can be attained by Qualifying School, Players Tour Series Points or local qualifiers. All Toyota Tour Cup events are nationally ranked by Junior Golf Scoreboard, as well as recognized by AJGA Performance Based Entry stars. The Toyota Tour Cup was established in 1999 to provide an alternative opportunity to top junior golfers to hone their skills in a competitive environment that was local. With the generous support of Toyota and the Southern California Toyota Dealers Association for the past 20+ years, we have been able to provide professionally run competitive events for juniors. The Toyota Tour Cup has proven to be a training ground for some of the best collegiate and professional golfers in our country. Toyota Tour Cup alumni include Rickie Fowler, Lizette Salas, Xander Schauffele, Mo Martin, Patrick Cantlay, Matthew Wolff, Haley Moore, Danielle Kang, Max Homa, Angel Yin, Collin Morikawa, and many others.

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 June 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 10 and girls in the top 6 at that TTC Event in order to retain their exemption for the remainder of the year plus the following year. *Boys who finish 11th – 15th at that Toyota Tour Cup event will earn a TTC exemption for the remainder of the current season plus the following season. Girls who finish 7th – 10th at that Toyota Tour Cup event will earn a TTC exemption for the remainder of the current season plus the following season.* (season = spring, summer, fall)

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

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.
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.
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.

Priority Registration: Toyota Tour Cup has a priority registration system in place. If a player competes in a TTC event, they will not have priority for the following TTC event. Players that did not play in that previous event will have priority for 24 hours over players that played previously. After the 24 hours, all remaining players will be filtered in based on registration times only. If you were registered for the previous event and canceled within one week of the event date, you will still forfeit your priority for the next event.
