Yes - the sport is bigger than ever
2024 is looking to be the highest participation ever in competitive junior golf. We measure that by the more than 15,000 junior players we rank and by the more than 3,100 tournaments we follow. It has to be said that the AJGA has played an outstanding role in the growth of the game as virtually all juniors desire to be able to play their events.Credit also goes to US Kids Golf and the PGA Junior League in bringing younger players into the sport.
And now with the USGA's National Development program there is a pathway for promising juniors to grow the caliber of their game and to potentially play on the United States National Team in international competitions. Like other countries have for many years, the USGA has taken on the challenge to showcase and develop the talent in our country, not only juniors, but eventually at the collegiate level and amateur level.
Things are looking up for all areas of the game.
