Women’s Golf Week (WGW) will occur annually the first week of June, overlapping the official Women’s Golf Day global initiative. During that week, PGA REACH New England will fund, promote and organize entry-level golf programming to target female demographics across New England. Our New England PGA Professionals will be provided marketing & promotional materials and the Section will communicate across all media platforms.

GOAL - Increase outreach to women to help grow the game of golf within our female demographic in New England. Provide our New England PGA Professionals with the resources to market their own existing and local programs or utilize the designed out-of-the-box solution and Top 10 To Do’s created by our Women of the Game Committee

The New England PGA Junior Tour, founded in 1995, established a goal to help develop younger golfers as well as provide outstanding competitions on a local level. In addition, this program strives to foster sportsmanship and integrity among its members. Heading into our 26th season of creating friendship, camaraderie and life long supporters of the game, today our program consists of over 900 junior golfers and a schedule of over 100 junior tournaments annually. The New England PGA Junior TOUR is managed by the Youth & Development Pillar of PGA REACH New England.

The New England PGA Junior TOUR is open to all boys and girls ages 9-21 who reside in or are members of a golf course within the boundaries of the New England Section that employs a PGA Professional.

The Junior TOUR conducts tournaments, education seminars and networking opportunities from the middle of April to the end of October, however the bulk of competitions take place during the summer months.

Since its inception, PGA REACH New England has awarded over $550,000 in college scholarships to the children, grandchildren and step-children of PGA Professionals, as well as junior golfers in across New England.

Under the direction of PGA REACH New England and its Scholarship Committee, we continue to grow the number of scholarships available, as well as the amount of funding available each year.

Through our Scholarship Program, PGA REACH New England was excited to distribute almost $50,000 during 2020 to deserving young men and women across New England.

Originally 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 nationally known junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf – Driving, Chipping and Putting.
In a collaborative effort with our partner Special Olympics-Massachusetts, a one of a kind Drive, Chip & Putt Skills Competition was launched in 2021 and will annually invite athletes from across New England to gather and compete, focusing on fun, camaraderie and honoring the spirit of the game.
