2014-15 Schedule Released!
20-event schedule features new Northeast Tour Championship and IMGA Junior World Match Play Championships
Coming off a record year for membership and tournament participation, the IMG Junior Golf Tour has announced their 2014-15 tournament schedule, comprised of 20 events in the Southeast and Northeast United States.
This year’s Southeast schedule is highlighted by a new President’s Day Weekend event format with a 54-hole tournament at the highly acclaimed Omni Amelia Island Plantation. Favorites from years past include the 54-hole Thanksgiving at Grand Cypress, Southeast Kickoff at Sara Bay Country Club and spring stops at two top-20 Florida courses in Juliette Falls Golf Club and Victoria Hills Golf Club. The tour season culminates May 16-17 at Black Diamond Ranch’s Quarry Course for the fifth annual IMG Junior Golf Tour Championship.
The Tour’s Northeast schedule features events at New Jersey venues including Berkshire Valley Golf Club, with a new October venue near Atlantic City in the Pines Course at Stockton Seaview Resort & Golf Club. A new Northeast Tour Championship will take place in May with a venue to be announced in the near future.
New for 2014 is the announcement of the IMG Academy Junior World Golf Match Play Championship to be played in December in Florida. A collaboration with the word-renowed Junior World Golf Championships that take place in San Diego, CA every summer, the IMG Junior Golf Tour-sanctioned event will feature 36 holes of stroke play before an initial field of 297 (Boys 11-12, 13-15, 16-18; Girls 11-14, 15-18) is whittled to a match play contingent who will battle for three days before determining a victor.
The IMG Junior Golf Tour continues its mission to serve as a platform in developing top talent by providing national-level playing opportunities, and will continue to offer additional opportunities for exemptions into national events as the season progresses. More than 200 AJGA Performance Based Entry stars were earned by players during the 2013-14 season to help players gain entry into top national tournaments and gain exposure to college golf coaches and national junior rankings. Last season saw members from 15 states and more than 35 countries hit the links. Many of those members committed to top college programs over the past few years including the likes of Virginia, Purdue, USF, Tennessee, Arkansas, UCLA and many more.
