State Championships

State Championships are two-day events open to residents of the host state only. Players can earn Priority Status to gain invitations to Regional, International, World and Teen World Championships. A player's age on the last day of the month prior to the event will determine his/her age bracket for the State Championship.

Similar to the PGA TOUR, players at U.S. Kids Golf events are encouraged to have caddies to help them play their best. Allowing caddies is a special component of our tournaments and is our commitment to encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories. Players age 8 and under must have a caddie at all times. Please review the USKG Policies for more information on this special part of all U.S. Kids Golf competitions.

Compete for the chance to be the best in your state! Players who finish in the top three (and ties) of their age group will receive trophies.

- Bay Area, CA
- Canton, OH

Qualifiers

Championship Qualifiers are one-day qualifying events to gain Priority Status to Regional, International and World or Teen World Championships. A player may enter more than one Qualifier and is permitted to play in Qualifiers outside of his or her state and country of residency.

Qualifiers allow boys and girls, ages 5 to 14, an opportunity to compete against kids their own age and gender on courses set up for age-appropriate play. A player's age on July 31, 2013, will determine his or her age bracket for all Qualifiers.

Just as with State Championships, all players are encouraged to have caddies. Players age 8 and under must have a caddie at all times.

The top five finishers in each age and gender group will receive a medal for their accomplishments. Players meeting the Scoring Requirement will receive Priority Status to Major Championship events based on his or her finish in the Qualifier.

Priority Status will not be passed down to the next finisher if winners are previously qualified for Championship events. Players must meet the Scoring Requirement in the event in which he or she qualifies.

2013 Qualifiers will be held in the following locations:

- Edwardsville, IL
- Goffstown, NH
- Indianapolis, IN
- Oakdale, MN
