New Program
Tournament Pathway
A structured, data-driven roadmap that tells junior golfers exactly which tournaments to play, in what order, to build competitive confidence, increase their chances of success, avoid wasting family resources on unnecessary events, and build a ranking that attracts coaches at the proper age — developed by Under Par Consulting's 35+ years of D1 recruiting experience.
College coaches don't just watch — they rank. They rely on competitive results from recognized junior tours to identify recruits. With dozens of tours and hundreds of events, most families are guessing at which events actually move the needle.
Correct scheduling starts as soon as a player begins playing competitive golf. Nine-hole events, local tours, regional events, or national invites — these all are part of building your junior golf platform, whether at age 10 or 18, and will lead to a successful recruiting process when a player gets to that point.
The Tournament Pathway Program removes the guesswork. Stop playing events that don't count toward recruiting or your development. Start playing the ones that do.
