TOURNAMENT + COMPETITION An integral part of IJGA’s golf training methodology is a strong focus on tournament competition. IJGA students spend weekends during the school year gaining valuable experience playing in nationally ranked events across the country. Students compete in many tournaments on the International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) and Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) as well as in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and other marquee junior golf events. All IJGT events are nationally ranked by Golfweek and Junior Golf Scoreboard. With over 40 hosted events, IJGT provides an excellent platform for juniors to increase their tournament results and acquire the recognition that college coaches will notice. With IJGA’s partnership with Sir Nick Faldo and Faldo Series, IJGA students now have the opportunity to play in Faldo Series America. The winner of the U.S. Grand Final qualifies for Faldo Series Asian Grand Final. FALDO SERIES/PARTNERSHIP IJGA and IJGT partner with Faldo Series IJGA student-athletes benefit from IJGA’s relationship with Sir Nick Faldo and his global junior development effort, Faldo Series, which hosts events in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Starting in 2017, Faldo Series now partners with IJGA and IJGT to bring opportunities for junior golfers in the United States to compete in the Faldo Series. IJGA organizes opportunities for junior golfers to compete in a series of first-class tournaments on some of the most prestigious golf courses in the world. AD M I SSI O NS GUI D E 2019 29
