Junior Tour of Northern California FAQs
Eight years ago, the NCGA Junior tour was formed. Five years ago, it aligned with the NCPGA to form one tour where junior golfers could compete against the best players at an affordable price. The Junior tour of Northern California boasts a year-round schedule of 26 events, with eight of those events being at two courses accommodating up to 240 players. The Junior Tour would like to thank Capital Insurance Group for being its premier sponsor.
