The TJGT is excited to announce its continued partnership with the Notah Begay III Junior Championship series in the 2026 season in the state of Texas. After a successful 2025 campaign that saw more than 450 junior golfers compete in local and regional qualifiers across the state, the NB3 Championship has announced its 2026 schedule of local qualifiers in the state of Texas, along with 8 additional opportunities for players to qualifier for the Regional Events via upcoming TJGT events.
All local and regional qualifiers listed here will be staffed by TJGT and/or Beltway JGT tournament staff, and players will also have the opportunity to earn NJGS points and AJGA PBE at select events (see tournament information pages for details).
There is no additional fee to have your 2-day scores count toward this qualifier.
