FRISCO, Texas (July 5, 2023) ー Over 500 of the country’s top high school golfers are set to compete in the 2023 PGA High School Golf National Invitational presented by Titleist & FootJoy. This marks the first amateur championship to be played at PGA Frisco and the fifth edition of the PGA High School Golf National Invitational since its debut in 2019.
The Girls Invitational will take place July 10-12 on the Fields Ranch East and West Courses at PGA Frisco as well as Old American Golf Club. The Boys Invitational is scheduled for July 17-19 on the Fields Ranch East and West Courses at PGA Frisco as well as The Tribute Golf Links.
The invitation-only field consists of golfers who have won their respective state high school championships as a team or as an individual from small, large, public or private schools. Individual and team champions will be crowned following the three-day 54-hole stroke-play event.
“The PGA of America is excited to welcome these talented high school golfers from across the country to our new home at PGA Frisco,” said John Lindert, PGA of America President and Director of Golf at The Country Club of Lansing. “The PGA High School Golf National Invitational provides a platform for young golfers to showcase their skills at a national level.
