Arnold Palmer Golf Management has announced the 2024 PGA Family Golf Championship will take place at Walt Disney World Resort’s Disney Palm Golf Course, September 28–29.

Last year, the PGA of America hosted the inaugural event at PGA West in La Quinta, California, with almost 150 participants from 24 states. At the 2024 PGA Family Golf Championship, teams will play in one of four divisions, including junior, adult, professional adult and professional junior.

“The family nature of this tournament makes it the perfect event to be held at the Walt Disney World golf courses. We are passionate about bringing family fun to the game of golf,” said Alex Forsyth, PGA director of sales and marketing for Arnold Palmer Golf Management. “We have a long history of hosting a plethora of different events, from youth tournaments to PGA Tour events, so the PGA Family Golf Championships will further add to that tradition of extraordinary family-friendly golf events at the Walt Disney World Resort.”

The PGA Family Golf Championship brings together teams of two to four players, who are all biologically or legally related, to compete. PGA Family Golf includes all ages and skill levels and programs are hosted by PGA of America golf professionals and LPGA professionals.

The first round will be a scramble format. For those competing in a junior division, one adult and one junior must have an attempt at each shot. The final round will be a modified alternate shot format. Junior division teams will alternate their shots between adults and juniors. The team with the lowest 36-hole stroke play total at the end of the second round will be named the champion.

Local PGA Family Golf participants can earn invitations to the national championship by being in the top five teams in the two-player division; champions and runners-up in the four-player division; and champions and runners-up in the professional division at the 2023 PGA Family Golf Championship.
