In addition to allowing all local juniors to gain valuable tournament playing experience, the Emerald Coast Junior Golf Tour has been recognized as a feeder tour for the FJT-Florida Junior Tour and the AJGA-American Junior Golf Association, the pinnacle of junior golf in the United States and probably worldwide. Additionally, the results from our two day 36-hole events are forwarded to the National Junior Golf Scoreboard for inclusion in there national junior ranking program.

 

The Florida Junior Tour STEP (Special Tournament Exemption Program) allows junior golfers to earn FJT exemptions through local and regional Florida programs. It encourages players to compete in their local and regional junior programs which serve as the backbone of junior golf in Florida.

The Emerald Coast Junior Golf Tour is the approved FJT-STEP Tour on the Emerald Coast.

 

The AJGA Performance Stars and FJT STEP exemptions do not guarantee entry into events on the respective tours. They give priority status and players also still need to join the respective Tours to utilize their exemptions.
