Competitive golf starts with the American Junior Golf Association. Its alumni are a who’s who of professional golf and includes stars such as Jordan Spieth, Brandt Snedeker, Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson, Hunter Mahan, Stacy Lewis, Vicky Hurst, Inbee Park, Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, and Brittany Lincicome.
Today the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) announced a five-year partnership with Reynolds Lake Oconee, which will host a new championship event, the Junior All-Star Invitational at Reynolds Lake Oconee. The Invitational will be the season-culminating tournament of the AJGA’s American College Development Services (ACDS) Junior All-Star Series for players age 12 to 15, capping a season-long “Road to Reynolds” sequence of events showcasing the future of the game.
Starting Columbus Day weekend in 2017 and continuing through the fall of 2020, 96 of the top male and female junior golfers will compete in a 54-hole, stroke play tournament at the acclaimed golf resort community, Reynolds Lake Oconee. The international field will be determined by the Polo Golf Rankings, a proprietary system that provides a worldwide barometer of the top players using wins and top finishes in national junior golf events.
“All roads will lead to Reynolds Lake Oconee,” said Stephen Hamblin, executive director of the AJGA. “This Invitational promises to become one of the premier junior golf events in the world, given the level of competition, the world-class caliber of the golf at Reynolds, and the resources available to junior golfers at The Reynolds Kingdom of Golf presented by TaylorMade.”
