How It Works

Event & Competition Details

The competition divisions available at events will vary by tournament format. The majority of tournaments include our standard divisions:

  • Open — 49 & younger
  • Senior — 50–59
  • Super Senior — 60–69
  • Legends — 70 & older
  • Nicklaus Junior Championship — Ages 13–18
  • Palm Beach Parent-Child — 10 & Under, 11–13, Amateur & Pro

All players are assigned to the age division matching their age as of the first day of the Championship. You may always compete in a younger division ("playing up"), but never in a division older than your age.

Exception: Juniors (ages 10–18) may compete in older divisions but not a younger division.

PBCGA events feature a variety of formats including stroke play, match play, and team events throughout the season. Specific format details are listed on each individual event page.

All participants are expected to uphold the values and traditions of golf. The PBCGA is committed to maintaining the integrity of the Rules of Golf in all regional championships. Unsportsmanlike conduct may result in disqualification.

PBCGA celebrates every hole-in-one achieved during official events. Members who record a hole-in-one are recognized across our communications and social media channels.
