IJGA Students selected to play in the
Inaugural Faldo Major Champions Invitational
International Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) student-athletes Haruka Shintani and Fiona Khaing were
selected to play in the Faldo 2018 Major Champions Invitational at Bella Collina in Montverde,
Florida. Haruka Shintani (Japan) and Fiona Khaing (Myanmar) represented Team Daly. The junior
golfers selected were from 23 countries and represented 19 major champions.
The Major Champions Invitational is a tournament created by Sir Nick Faldo. An extension of the
Faldo Series, the event provides major champions an opportunity to mentor and inspire the next
generation of players while giving back to the game. The inaugural event was played March 12-14,
2018 and was a made-for-TV event which will air on CBS on Saturday, August 11, 2018.
The future is bright for these young IJGA student-athletes. As seniors, both are starting college in
the fall and plan to take what they have learned from IJGA into their college golf career and beyond.
