Nebraska PGA Jr. League Section Championship Qualifier Recap

Fremont, NE – For the fifth year in a row, Fremont GC hosted the Nebraska PGA Jr. League Section Championship Qualifier, with a record high nineteen All-Star teams of junior golfers ages 13 and under and their families meeting for a fun and exciting day of competition. Section Qualifiers and Championships are the first of three phases in the PGA Jr. League All-Star Season, which highlights the aspirational nature of competition celebrated in a way unique to PGA Jr. League. The event at Fremont GC was a 9-hole scramble stroke play qualifier in which each of the nineteen all-star teams (eight players on each team) were broken into four two-person scramble pairs.

Ten teams competed in an 8am shotgun and nine teams competed in a 12pm shotgun. Three/four best pair scores for each team were counted for the team total score. There were two flights (the front 9 from the 8am and 12pm waves combined and the back 9 from the 8am and 12pm waves combined) in which the best two scores from each flight advanced to the Section Championship, which will be held on Saturday, August 8th at The Club at Indian Creek (Red Feather Course). The four teams who advanced to the 2026 Nebraska PGA Jr. League Section Championship are the Eastern Nebraska All- Stars, Firethorn Fireballs A All-Stars, Field Club of Omaha All-Stars and Capital City All-Stars.

The official results are below. The top two teams at the Section Championship will advance to the Regional stage, which will be hosted at Paradise Pointe GC in Smithville, MO on October 2-4, 2026.

Following recreational play in the spring and summer, hundreds of 13u All-Star teams (boys and girls ages 10-13) and 17u All-Star teams (boys and girls ages 14-17), are formed from a combination of players in each league. Section Champions from both age divisions advance to the Regional stage of competition at one of 12 sites in September. Ultimately, twelve 13u Regional champions will vie for the title at the PGA Jr. League Championship at PGA Frisco’s Fields Ranch West, Nov. 11-15, to be broadcasted live on select ESPN networks. PGA Jr. League is the flagship youth pillar program of the PGA of America’s 501(c)(3) foundation, PGA REACH, with the goal of making the program accessible to all youth regardless of background, circumstance or ability. Boys and girls ages 17 and under learn and play golf on teams, wear numbered jerseys and receive expert coaching from PGA Professionals.
