TJGT Overview/History
The Texas Junior Golf Tour Inc. (TJGT) was founded in Austin early in 1989. Several Austin High School golf coaches and parents realized the need for higher-level competition during the fall and winter season that would supplement high school golf along with regional PGA/USGA events and provide national exposure to collegiate golf programs. The TJGT started with just eight tournaments and has since expanded to include more than 90 events including an Elite Mini-Tour. The “Big Tour” offers over 72 events throughout the year. TJGT offers AJGA Performance Based Entry (PBE) at every event as well as Golfweek & Jr. Golf Scoreboard rankings and top-level amateur exemptions. In 1989, our tournaments consisted of only local Austin/San Antonio players but have since grown into some of the strongest fields in junior golf. Players from coast to coast, as well as many international countries such as Mexico, Scotland, Venezuela, Ecuador, Canada, and Korea, are now participating. Presently, TJGT invitationals and majors are played at venues such as UT Golf Club @ Texas, Traditions @ Texas A&M, Jimmy Austin GC @ University of Oklahoma, Twin Rivers GC @ Baylor University, Redstone GC, TPC Four Seasons, Horseshoe Bay Resort, Barton Creek Resort, Historic Dornick Hills CC and the Houstonian. Redstone, Four Seasons, and Houstonian all host PGA & LPGA Tour Events.
The TJGT has produced more than 3000 collegiate golfers at all levels of the NCAA, NAIA & NJCAA who have received either a golf or academic/leadership scholarship. TJGT’s scholarship success rate for graduating seniors has exceeded over 85% for boys and 95% for girls in the past three years. Former TJGT players have accomplished great honors playing collegiate golf or academic success. They have been involved in national championships at all levels of NCAA and amateur golf. Several players are now playing on the PGA & LPGA tours. TJGT players every year line the All-American golf and academic teams. For example, 2009 Division I National Champion Texas A&M played with three former TJGT players with former TJGT standout Bronson Burgoon executing one of the most famous shots in college golf history. The 2010 NCAA Championship final match: Augusta State and Oklahoma State involved TJGT alumni. Additionally, McLennan Community College won the 2009 & 2010 NJCAA National Championship with four TJGT players.
The leadership of the TJGT staff & Board of Directors is unique from the majority of junior tours. TJGT’s leadership consists of former college coaches & parents of TJGT players, High School standouts, American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) players as well as current & former collegiate players. For example, TJGT Board of Directors’ Chairman Mike Neece, was a member of the great University of Houston National Champion teams and played professionally. Coach Monzingo, TJGT’s VP/Director of Operations was an outstanding collegiate golfer, twenty-year high school coaching veteran, and a former college coach at Eastern New Mexico and University of Oklahoma. The tournament staff is made up of more than 40 Texas high school golf coaches with multiple years of experience with junior golf and high school age players. TJGT has selected the best and most respected coaches to join the operational staff.
TJGT is the exclusively endorsed by the Texas Association of Golf Coaches and is the founder of the new HighSchoolGolfScoreboard.com. This site is the first to post high school golf results and rank team & individuals with the NCAA’s provider of scoring & rankings: Golfstat.
Overall, the TJGT leadership utilizes years of “hands-on” experience with their own children at all levels of junior, collegiate and amateur golf to help each TJGT family navigate “The Road to College Golf”. There is no sacrifice for this “hands-on” experience when navigating members thru elite junior golf, AJGA, and the college recruiting/scholarship process. Our entire staff of fellow parents & coaches consider it an honor to serve each family and help fulfill their dreams of playing college golf or receiving an academic/leadership scholarship.
