How do I get my scores verified on Junior Golf Hub?
We have relationships with over 25 PGA Section Junior Tours as well as many other Junior Tours (AJGA, HJGT, Peggy Kirk Bell, NB3, etc.) and state/regional golf associations around the country where your scores should be automatically verified within a few days after completion of the tournament. If you do not see a result as “verified” with a green check mark on your profile, please email us at [email protected] with requests to verify scores.
How are The Hub Cup Standings calculated?
Scoring Average is calculated for verified, individual tournament round scores in a 52-week rolling cycle.
Ex: The Hub Cup Standings update for Thursday, May 6, 2021 will contribute events from Monday, April 26, 2021 to Sunday, May 2nd, 2021 as eligible/counting events for scoring average calculation. Events from Monday, April 27, 2020 – Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 would no longer contribute to HCS scoring average.
How are the Hub Cup criteria broken down for calculating the standings?
Scoring average and verified rounds are the most important. There is some weight to “Top 10” finishes in verified tournament rounds and also some weight is given to the athlete’s profile strength.
How important is the essay for Hub Cup Standings?
The essay requirement was added to support our underlying philosophy to encourage all athletes on The Hub to help shift the landscape of junior golf in a positive way. We want Hub members to share their passion for golf with us. All essays submitted will be read by our team and we may choose to publish some of our favorites. The essay has no value applied to Hub Cup Standings but is required to be eligible to win any scholarship.
Do college coaches know about The Hub Cup Standings?
Yes, The Hub includes a Hub Cup Standings update (with trends) in every week’s Hub Report sent to college golf coaches.
What if I am not going to college or will not be attending college for a couple years?
If you are not planning on attending college for a couple years because of your age or you are deferring for some period of time, we will maintain your scholarship money in an account for you. When you are officially entering college, we will send your scholarship money directly to the institution of your choice on your behalf.
If you are not planning on attending college, the rules of amateur status do not allow us to pay out cash to athletes. Unfortunately, because of that, we will award the scholarship to the next player in The Hub Cup standings.

Am I eligible to enter again if I didn’t win this year?
Yes, so long as you meet the eligibility criteria. We encourage all Hub members to participate each year.
