Players compete against other golfers in their age group to accumulate All-Star points. They cannot reach their 19th birthday before the All-Star tournament and cannot have graduated high school.

The tour was scheduled to stop at Twin Lakes Country Club on Wednesday before heading to Traces Golf Course on Monday, July 8.
