The PBE will allow 10-17 year old members to earn their way into the BJGT Majors based on performances at previous events, whilst continuing to provide the opportunity for anyone who has earned the right to compete at this highest level.
The player's performance will dictate acceptance into an event, ensuring that all deserving juniors receive the opportunity to play in a BJGT Major.
Players must meet the eligibility requirements at the time of their application, and hold an official CONGU handicap of 24 or less for boys, 32 for girls. A home club handicap does not constitute a CONGU handicap.
