How do I withdraw from an event?
You may withdraw from an event by logging into your player profile and cancelling the event. You may also email us at IMGJuniorGolfTour@img.com. See our refund policy for detailed information on eligibility to receive a refund.
Are qualified rules officials available at the tournaments?
Yes. Setting up and administering competitions under the Rules of Golf is extremely important to us. Proper course marking and implementation of the Rules of Golf is essential to the integrity of the competition, as well as the educational development of our players.
Our staff thoroughly marks each golf course (Water Hazards, Out of Bounds, etc.) in advance of the competition to ensure consistent and proper implementation of the Rules.
A Rules Committee is established for every event under the direction of the Tournament Director and a Senior Rules Official. Rules Officials rove the course during competition to implement our pace of play and code of conduct policies and provide assistance when needed. The exact number of officials varies at each tournament.
How can I find out more about sponsorship opportunities?
The IMG Junior Golf Tour is always interested in finding partners that share our vision for providing quality tournament experiences for junior golfers and their families.
