History of the Junior World Golf Championships (JGANC)
In 1968, the San Diego Junior Golf Association founded the Junior World Golf Championship to connect young golfers from all parts of the world. Not only was the goal to provide youth with a premier golf experience, but the organizers dreamed that the championship would build greater understanding among people of different cultures and values.
In its inaugural year, the event attracted 475 junior golfers from seven countries and 20 states. Today, the tournament has grown to 1250 participants, representing 56 countries and 42 states. The IMG Academy Junior World Golf Championships is now the largest international event in the world and is unique for its international representation and cultural diversity.
Congratulations to all of the JGANC qualifiers! We look forward to seeing you at the next tournament. To schedule a golf tournament at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex click here .
