Our Policies & Guidelines NXXTGen Junior Tour | NXXT Faldo Junior Tour All policies are subject to change. It is the player's responsibility to know and understand these policies.

The USGA Rules of Golf govern all play. If a ruling cannot be established within the group and no rules official is available, players are asked to play two balls and report to the scoring tent for an official ruling. Players must announce their intention to play two balls to their marker or fellow competitor before doing so, and must declare which ball they wish to count if the rules permit. Scorecards must not be signed until any outstanding ruling has been made official. Practice on the competition course before or between rounds is not permitted. Players may practice on designated practice areas only. Violation of this condition may result in disqualification.

Junior Tour events are open to all junior golfers between the ages of 12 and 19 who are not currently enrolled in college. Players who have graduated from high school may compete during the summer immediately preceding their first college semester. Female age divisions are open to participants who are female at birth. A player's age division is determined by their age as of the first round of each event.

Per Rule 5.6b of the Rules of Golf, all players must play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play guidelines established by the Committee. Guidelines • Keep pace with the group ahead at all times. If you cannot see the group ahead, pick up pace immediately • Play ready golf — the player who is ready plays next, regardless of position • Walk with purpose between shots. Move bags to the far side of the green before putting • Think about your next shot while walking to your ball • Play a provisional ball immediately if your original may be lost or out of bounds • Check in at registration at least 30 minutes before your tee time and be on the tee ready to play at your designated starting time Groups identified as out of position by a NXXT official will be placed on the clock. Timed groups that fail to recover position are subject to penalty strokes per the Rules of Golf. NXXT reserves the right to adjust the pace of play policy at any time.

NXXT Golf will make every effort to play each event to its conclusion. Play will continue in wet and cold conditions unless lightning or severe weather is forecast. In the event of a required evacuation, one long continuous air horn blast signals an immediate suspension of play for a dangerous situation. Three consecutive air horn blasts signal all other suspensions. Once the signal is given all play must stop immediately. Players must mark their ball and await further instruction from tournament staff. When play has been suspended for a dangerous situation, all practice areas are closed until officially reopened by the Committee. If an event is shortened due to weather but golf was played, no credits or refunds will be issued. Nine-hole increments will be used for shortened rounds. A full age division must have completed the same holes for scores to be posted; otherwise no scores will be recorded for that day. In the event that no golf is played and the entire event is canceled, all registered players will receive a full tour credit of their entry fee with no administrative deduction. Credits are valid for 24 months.

NXXT Golf permits the use of devices that measure distance only. Devices that measure or calculate wind speed, temperature, gradient, or slope are not permitted at any NXXT event. Violation of this condition is subject to penalty under the Rules of Golf.

Pull carts are permitted in all age divisions. Motorized pull carts are not allowed at any NXXT event. Caddies are not permitted for any age division. Players must carry their own clubs or use a push/pull cart. Penalty for breach of the transportation condition: two strokes for each hole at which the breach occurred, maximum penalty four strokes per round.

Scorecards must be completed hole-by-hole, signed by both the player and their marker, and submitted to the scoring area immediately upon completion of the round. • Players must remain in the scoring area until their scorecard has been officially accepted • No alterations may be made to a scorecard once a player has left the scoring area • Signing for a score lower than actually taken will result in disqualification • Signing for a score higher than actually taken — the higher score stands • Failure to sign a scorecard before leaving the scoring area will result in disqualification (DQ)

Tour points are earned at every NXXT junior tour event throughout the 2026 season. All events — regular season and championship — contribute to a single unified Player of the Year standings. Only members are eligible to accrue season-long points. The top 20 finishers (including ties) at each event earn points per the following schedule: 1st — 100 | 2nd — 75 | 3rd — 65 | 4th — 60 | 5th — 55 | 6th — 50 | 7th — 45 | 8th — 40 | 9th — 35 | 10th — 30 | 11th — 29 | 12th — 28 | 13th — 27 | 14th — 26 | 15th — 25 | 16th — 24 | 17th — 23 | 18th — 22 | 19th — 21 | 20th — 20 Points standings are published in real time at www.nxxtgolf.com.

Player of the Year - how it works The NXXT Faldo Junior Tour Player of the Year race runs the full season, from the opening event through the North American Championship at Streamsong Resort in December. Every point counts. Points by finishing position  How standings work Points standings are tracked within each division - Boys 16-19, Boys 12-15, Girls 16-19, and Girls 12-15 - so you can follow the race in your own age group throughout the season. The year-end Player of the Year award is determined by the highest cumulative points total across all boys and all girls, regardless of age division. The top male and top female points leader each take home the award. Eligibility Withdrawal (WD) or disqualification (DQ) at any event results in 0 points for that event. Tied finishing positions share the combined points equally, rounded to the nearest whole number. Tiebreaker If two players finish level on points at season's end, the tiebreaker is: most wins, then most runner-up finishes, then head-to-head record across shared events. Year-end award The NXXT Faldo Junior Tour Player of the Year is presented at season's end to the top male and top female points leaders. Each recipient receives a GolfJoy Spica 3 Launch Monitor - a professional-grade performance tool for serious competitors. Points standings update following each official tour event. The NXXT Faldo North American Championship at Streamsong Resort counts toward POY standings.
