The Platinum Tour is a division of Gold Coast Junior Golf Foundation, Inc., a 501 (C) (3) non-profit, charitable organization and is registered with the State of Florida, Division of Corporations. GCJGF was incorporated in 1998 to offer junior golfers an organized tournament and instructional program throughout the year. Prior to 1998 few opportunities existed for juniors to play, learn, and continue to grow  with golf once summer programs were completed. The GCJGF program began with about 45 members and grew to 472 members in 2007-2008 year, participating in twenty-two events, including the Prestige Junior Championships, an International junior tournament during the Thanksgiving holidays. The GCJGF program is available to all Boys and Girls, who have not reached their 19th birthday or entered college, regardless of their golf experience. There are many players who gained valuable tournament experience by participating in the GCJGF program during their early years and who went on to succeed in national amateur and professional tournaments. Special recognition is given to Alexis Thompson on winning the 2008 US Junior Girls Championship.

There are many of those first members now in their teens, who's golf game is greatly improved, that are seeking reasonably priced tournaments to play which offer competitive fields, played at quality venues, and award exquisite trophies. The Board of Directors of GCJGF decided to offer those opportunities by creating the Platinum Tour which conducts tournaments from March and through October for juniors demonstrating advanced abilities. Players will play in the following divisions: Boys 13-15, Boys 16-18, and Girls 13-18. Boys who are 12 years old and have demonstrated exceptional skills may request membership.

Each Platinum Tour tournament will be scheduled for 18 holes on Saturday and the final 18 holes on Sunday, for a 36 hole total score. The host venues will be located throughout South Florida. The entry fee for each tournament vary, depending on the tournament venue. A $25 discount is available for each additional family member entering the same tournament.

Crystal and other quality trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each of the three divisions. A "Player of the Year" award will be awarded to the player in each division who has accumulated the most Platinum Tour Points throughout the year. The player with the lowest stroke average overall for the season, using their best 10 scores, will receive the "Player Excellence" award.

The Platinum Tour membership fee is $75. Players may also join GCJGF for an additional $50 and participate in the Gold Program 18-hole events. Click on Membership in the menu column to begin your opportunity to display your skills as a Platinum Tour card holder.
