About the Tour

Professionally managed, nationally ranked junior golf since 2003 — and a community built around opportunity.

Est. 2003

A professionally managed junior tour

Founded in 2003 by Coach Danny Thomas, the Top 50 Junior Tour gives student golfers a professionally managed tournament experience at some of the finest country clubs and resorts in Florida, Michigan and South Carolina.

Top 50 events are nationally ranked by Junior Golf Scoreboard and Global Golf Junior Ranking, and many offer AJGA performance stars. More than half of our events are nationally ranked 36-hole tournaments — a real proving ground for college-bound players.
