The Tyler Rose Junior tournament offers exemptions into the American Junior Golf Association tournaments and it is a Golfweek ranked-event.

The (TJGT) was founded in 1989 in Austin when several Austin High School golf coaches and parents realized a need for a higher level competition during the fall and winter season that would supplement high school golf along with regional PGA events and provide more national exposure to collegiate golf programs.

The TJGT started with just eight tournaments and has since expanded to include more than 40 events.
