CJGA Junior Tour

The CJGA Junior Tour offers competitive multi-day events for junior golfers of all skill levels aged 11-19. Often, junior golfers of the highest skill level use CJGA events as an avenue to attaining a college golf scholarship and/or gaining the necessary physical and mental skills to pursue golf opportunities at the college level as well as on professional tours around the world. In 2008, nearly 50 CJGA graduates accepted offers to play collegiate golf at the NCAA level. As well, a number of alumni are currently playing professionally on tours around the world including Alena Sharp,  Chris Baryla, Will Mitchell and Richard Scott. With a number of dedicated and highly skilled junior golfers currently playing on tour, this number is expected to rise drastically in the years to come.

All CJGA Junior Tour Events are played on Championship courses throughout Canada and range from two to four days in length. Included in the schedule are a number of championship events for the elite junior as well as a number of international qualifying tournaments for several CJGA Team Canada teams.

Beginning golfers are encouraged to enroll in CJGA programs. There is no minimum handicap required to play, just basic rules knowledge and a love for the game.
