What Championships Does the Pennsylvania Golf Association Run?
Updated
The Pennsylvania Golf Association (PAGA) runs a season-long slate of championships that spans men's, women's, senior, and mid-amateur golf, plus team and family events. Based on the association's own results listings, the schedule includes an Open Championship, an Amateur Championship, Middle-Amateur (Mid-Am) Championships for men and women, Senior Amateur and Senior Four-Ball Championships, the Art Wall, Jr. Memorial, and Parent-Child and Father-Son Championships. Most of these are decided through qualifying rounds held at multiple courses before the championship proper.
Championship categories
The association's results archive groups its events into a few clear families:
- Open and Amateur — the 110th Open Championship and the 113th Amateur Championship anchor the men's schedule.
- Mid-Amateur — the 33rd Middle-Amateur Championship for men, plus a women's Mid-Am title contested within a combined women's championship.
- Senior — the 67th Senior Amateur Championship, the 34th Men's and 6th Women's Senior Four-Ball Championship, and a Senior Amateur Match Play Championship.
- Women's — the 90th Women's Am, Mid-Am, Senior and Super-Senior Championship, plus a Women's Senior Amateur Match Play Championship.
- Memorial and team events — the 22nd The Art Wall, Jr. Memorial and the 8th Parent-Child and 17th Father-Son Championship.
Qualifying rounds and multi-site qualifiers
Several championships are fed by qualifiers rather than direct entry. The results listings show Open Championship qualifiers at multiple sites and regions, including East, East-2, Central, and West, plus a West-2 qualifier. The Mid-Amateur Championship likewise ran qualifiers in four regions: West, Central, NEPA, and East.
That structure matters if you are trying to enter or follow a specific event: the qualifier, not the championship itself, is often the first checkpoint, and each qualifier is played at a different club on its own date.
Where championships are played
Host clubs vary by event and year. Examples drawn from the results listings include:

| 113th Amateur Championship | Oakmont Country Club |
| 110th Open Championship | Laurel Valley Golf Club |
| 33rd Middle-Amateur Championship | LedgeRock Golf Club |

| 90th Women's Am, Mid-Am, Senior and Super-Senior | Gulph Mills Golf Club |
How to confirm the current schedule
Championship names, edition numbers, dates, and host clubs change annually, so treat the listings above as the association's published record rather than a fixed calendar. To check a specific event, use the association's own results and news pages: each result entry pairs the championship name with its dates and host club, and the news feed carries announcements such as qualifying completion and first-round leaderboards. If you need entry or eligibility details for a given championship, that information sits with the individual event rather than in the general results index.
