About the Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches
The Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches is an annual competition between
the Northern and Southern Texas PGA Junior Tours’ top six boys and top six
girls aged 13-18. The Matches provide a unique, one of a kind experience
for each Tour’s best playing junior golfers.
The Ryder Cup style format features 12 junior golfers from each Tour
competing in 18-hole Four-Ball and 9-hole Alternate Shot Matches the first
day followed by 18-hole Singles Matches the final day. Shady Oaks
Country Club will host, and the Northern Texas PGA will conduct the
Matches each year. Established in 1958, Shady Oaks Country Club has a
rich history including being the longtime home for the tournament’s
namesake, Ben Hogan.
Members from the Northern Texas PGA and Southern Texas PGA teams
qualify to compete via All American Tour and Prestige Tour events,
respectively. Champions from each Tour’s first tournaments in the summer
solidify their spot on the team as well as the top point earners, not
otherwise qualified from the first tournaments in the summer.
