What is the National High School Golf Invitational?
The National Invitational is an event dedicated to celebrating and showcasing high school golfers at the highest level – public or private, Division 1A or 6A. The invitation-only field consists of the top high school golfers from across the country who have won their respective state championships as a team or as an individual. Following the three-day, 54-hole stroke-play event, both individual and team champions will be crowned. The PGA of America operates the National High School Golf Association, which is dedicated to the overall growth and development of high school golfers across the United States.
“The National Invitational is a celebration of a player’s hard work and excellence during their high school golf season,” said Chris Noble, NHSGA manager.
The Invitational brings together a wide variety of golfers from nearly all 50 states. All high school state championship teams, individuals, and their families are welcome at the Invitational.
