A joint initiative founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, United States Golf Association and The PGA of America, Drive, Chip and Putt is a free nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf for boys and girls ages 7-15.

The Minnesota PGA Section is host to fifteen local qualifying events, three sub-regional qualifying events and will host one of ten Regional events in 2024 & 2025. The local Regional event will be hosted at Hazeltine National Golf Club on September 22, 2024. Eight kids from Hazeltine will qualify for Augusta National to compete at the National Championship.

Players advance by placing in the top three in each age/gender category at the local level and top two at the sub-regional level. The top finisher in each of the boys and girls divisions at the Regional level will advance to Augusta National and compete in the national championship.

Participants compete in all three skills (Drive, Chip and Putt) and hit three shots per skill for a total of nine shots. Points are accumulated per shot at each skill. The overall champion in each division is determined by the participant with the most points accumulated between all three skills. For additional information on eligibility, scoring and more, please visit the Rules and Regulations page.

Additionally, the Minnesota PGA Section will be hosting 1 of 10 Regional events this year at Hazeltine National Golf Club on September 22, 2024. Eight kids from Hazeltine will qualify for Augusta National to compete at the National Championship.
