AJGA PBE Status

With top finishes at U.S. Kids Golf major tournaments, players can earn Performance Based Entry status with the American Junior Golf Association.

In addition, beginning in 2021, U.S. Kids Golf tournament players, ages 12 to 18, who attain at least one of the top three Priority Status levels (Levels 11, 12, or Lifetime), will receive AJGA Performance Based Entry (PBE) Stars for the following AJGA season. These Stars will be awarded at the beginning of each year and are valid for that calendar year only.

To receive AJGA Performance Stars for Priority Status earned in 2022, a player must reach age 12 by June 1st, 2023, AND must be 18 years of age or younger on January 1st, 2023.

Players whose U.S. Kids Priority Status features a 2021 start date (2021 multi-day events, Winter 2020 Local Tours, and Spring/Summer/Fall 2021 Local Tours) will receive four PBE Stars to use in 2022. Priority Status-based PBE Stars are in addition to the PBE Stars players currently earn for top finishes in U.S. Kids Golf Championship events.
