The Players Tour is an invitational program where the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Committee and staff determines eligibility requirements and it is open to boys and girls ages 13-19. The goal of the Players Tour is to have the top junior golfers in the Section compete on golf courses set up appropriately for a high level of play. In 2020 we changed the Players Tour to where we offered all 36-hole individual stroke play events.
