Beginning in Southern California, the Southern California Golf Association (SCGA), the Southern California PGA (SCPGA) and the San Diego Junior Golf Association (SDJGA) are launching a golf team (Team California) that will expand the pipeline for elite local golfers into the recently created U.S. National Development Program (USNDP), a new initiative launched by the United States Golf Association (USGA). The SCGA is one of seven Allied Golf Associations (AGA) that will participate in the initial phase of the state team pilot program in 2024.
