The Kelly Gibson Junior Golf
Tour was founded in 2009 by
PGA Tour Professional Kelly
Gibson. It is operated by the
Kelly Gibson Foundation with
the mission of creating a positive
learning experience through golf
by providing competitive golf
tournaments
throughout
the
year. The Tour is open to both
male and female golfers ages
7-22, with members competing in
junior golf tournaments throughout
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast
Region. Regardless of the players’
golfing ability, scholarships are
awarded based on community
service, grade point average and
financial need. All members of the
KGJGT who are at least juniors in
high school are eligible to receive
scholarships.
