JPGT unveils new format

MANILA, Philippines — The Junior Philippine Golf Tour (JPGT) continues its mission to discover and develop young talent across the provinces by unveiling a milestone edition featuring an enhanced format.

Now dubbed the ICTSI Elite Junior PGT Series 2025, the tour expands to a 15-leg nationwide circuit, culminating with the inaugural North vs South Elite Junior Finals at The Country Club from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

In last year’s edition, standout players from the Visayas and Mindanao Series claimed six of the eight titles in the JPGT Match Play Finals at The Country Club.

Now recognized as a counting event for the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR), the JPGT provides Filipino junior golfers with an internationally accredited platform to showcase their skills and gain exposure in global circuits.

The JPGT, introduced in 2023, brings a more structured age-category system, grouped into 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18 years old.

The circuit kicks off with the North Series on April 8-10 at Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club’s Norman Course.
