Tournament officials are delighted to announce that the 2019 Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships will again be recognized by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).

Little People’s has been a part of the AJGA recognition system since 1987, with the winners and subsequent places in the boys and girls 14-18 and 12-13 divisions receiving Performance Stars.  Below are the Performance Stars given for each Division in 2019.

Boys Age Rank Status 12 – 13 1 to 1 2 Stars 12 – 13 2 to 5 1 Star 14 – 18 1 to 1 12 Stars 14 – 18 2 to 5 8 Stars 14 – 18 6 to 10 4 Stars 14 – 18 11 to 15 1 Star

Girls Age Rank Status 12 – 13 1 to 1 2 Stars 12 – 13 2 to 3 1 Star 14 – 18 1 to 1 12 Stars 14 – 18 2 to 3 8 Stars 14 – 18 4 to 5 4 Stars 14 – 18 6 to 10 1 Star

 

It is important that Pepsi Little People’s is able to offer its golfers in these age groups an opportunity to gain AJGA Performance Stars, as it helps them to build a resume under the AJGA PBE system and helps with possible college scholarships.  In addition, it provides the AJGA an opportunity to recognize and provide opportunities to golfers who might not have had a chance to play in an AJGA event.

 

The 46^th annual Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships, for boys and girls ages 3 through 18, will be played June 18-19 at two golf courses in Quincy, IL.  Throughout the past 45 years, more than 24,000 young golfers have played in Little People’s.  Many of them are now instrumental in golf in some way, and a good number are now playing on one of the professional golf tours or on their college teams.
