About Southeastern Junior Golf Tour
The Southeastern Junior Golf Tour was founded on the principle of giving junior golfers a chance to play competitive golf while building their resume for a potential collegiate golf career. In 1994 the SJGT held its inaugural event in Atlanta, Georgia and during that first year conducted six events for 60 members. In 2017 the SJGT will celebrate its 23rd season with between 35-40 events and a projected membership of more than 1,000 junior golfers. Over the last 23 years the SJGT has not only expanded in the number of events and membership, but has also extended the areas in which it administers tournaments. SJGT events can now be found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
