About the tournament
The AJGA hosts golf tournaments for players aged 12-19 seeking to play at the college level. Preview Series alumni include Will Zalatoris, Alison Lee, Xander Schauffele, Brooke Henderson and Andrea Lee.
At last week’s City Council meeting, the City renewed its contract with the AJGA to host the Victoria Texas Preview for another three-year term.
Become a volunteer
The City is seeking volunteers for the tournament. Volunteers can choose to help with recording times, registering players, providing water and spotting, and they can choose which times they want to attend.
Every volunteer will receive an AJGA hat and pin. Lunch and beverages will be provided, and students can earn community service hours by volunteering.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and must have a valid driver’s license.
