Jr Tour crowns its 2026 Players of the Year
A record season wraps with our season-ending championship. See the full standings and what's next for our college-bound stars.
From championship tournaments to junior golfers taking their first swing and veterans finding the fairway through PGA HOPE — the WNY PGA connects the people who make this game matter.
The Western New York PGA Section is a not-for-profit association of the men and women who teach, run, and grow golf across the Buffalo and WNY region. Chartered in 1916, we represent the golf professionals at clubs, courses, and academies from Niagara to the Southern Tier.
Our mission is simple: serve our members, grow participation, and use golf as a force for good in the community — through junior development, veteran outreach, and youth access programs.
