The AJGA PBE will recognize the COUNTRY Youth Classic by including it in their Performance Based Entry (PBE) system. Specifically, the AJGA will recognize the winners of the Boys and Girls 16-17 age divisions, 7B and 7G respectively, by awarding each winner one tournament exemption. It is important to realize that one tournament exemption does not guarantee a junior golfer entry into an AJGA event, but instead helps a junior golfer by building a status under the AJGA's PBE system. For more information about PBE juniors can log on to ajga.org or call our Player Services Department at 877-373-2542.

We feel that including the COUNTRY Youth Classic in the PBE system benefits both organizations. It benefits the AJGA by helping them recognize and provide opportunities to golfers who might not have yet had the opportunity to play in an AJGA event and possibly receive a college golf scholarship. Through this recognition it is our hope that our event will attract an even larger and potentially stronger field to compete against the nation's best junior golfers.
