What Is Drive, Chip & Putt?

A joint initiative founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, United States Golf Association (USGA), and The PGA of America, Drive, Chip and Putt is a free nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf for boys and girls ages 7–15.

The Midwest PGA Section is proud to host five local qualifying events and one sub-regional qualifying event across our region. Players advance by placing in the top three in each age/gender division at the local level and top two at the sub-regional level. The top finisher in each division at the Regional level advances to Augusta National Golf Club to compete in the National Finals on the eve of the Masters Tournament!
