The format is focused on fun and recreation, and is a great way to begin in the sport. 2016 Recap o 1200 PGA Junior League Golfers (84% increase from ‘15 to ‘16) o 102 Teams (88% increase from ‘15 to ‘16) o 84 PGA Professionals (189% increase from ‘15 to ‘16) Drive, Chip & Putt Championship In an effort to promote interest and participation in the game of golf, the Mas- ters Tournament Foundation, United States Golf Association (USGA) and The PGA of America announced the creation of the Drive, Chip and Putt Champi- onship, a free, nationwide junior skills competition that will conclude at Augusta National Golf Club in 2016.
