For junior golfers aged 7-15, you can now sign up to qualify for the 2024 Drive, Chip and Putt, which will be held the Sunday before the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.
Tuesday’s announcement was made jointly by the USGA, the Masters Tournament and the PGA of America. The DCP was created by the three major golf governing bodies as a way of introducing children to the game.
The Drive, Chip and Putt contest is set to host its 10th season in 2024. The program is free and available in all 50 US states. Local qualifying starts in April 2023 at over 340 locations nationwide, and will continue through the summer.
There are four age groups, a boys’ and girls’ division, as well as a girls’ and boys’ division. Scoring is determined by driving, chipping, and putting skills. The top local performers will be promoted to the subregional or regional qualifiers in July, August, September, and October.
