COMPETITION
MAKE YOUR MARK
IJGA and IJGT partner with The Faldo Series.
IJGA student-athletes benefit from IJGA’s relationship
with Sir Nick Faldo and his global junior development
effort, the Faldo Series, which hosts events in Europe,
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Start-
ing in 2017, The 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.
By partnering with some of the best junior tours in the
country, we ensure our students are getting the best tour-
nament experience to prepare them for competition at the
next level.
With over 40 hosted events and the International Junior
Golf Tour (IJGT) achieves its goal to provide a platform for
juniors to increase their tournament results and ultimately
acquire the recognition that college coaches will notice.
Do you have tournament experience in
nationally ranked events?
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 AJGA and other marquee
junior golf events. All IJGT events are nationally ranked by
Golfweek and Junior Golf Scoreboard.
“My vision is for junior golf at
the highest level to shadow the
professional tours with global
competition. I also expect
these young players will inspire
new golfers around the world
to try our great game. Thanks
to IJGT and the International
Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) for
their ongoing support and for
opening the door to American
players to be included in our
global competition.”
– Sir Nick Faldo
