“We are honoured to host the 2015 Junior America’s Cup,” said Scott McNevin, Executive Director of the JGAA. “It’s a storied event with a long history that includes many of the top professionals on tour today. Pine Canyon Club is an incredible venue that will set up very well for this event.”

Many former participants have gone on to become successful professional golfers such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples, Corey Pavin, Ricky Barnes, Notah Begay, John Cook, Peter Jacobson, Steve Jones, Anthony Kim, Ryan Moore and Kevin Na.

Team results for the 54-hole tournament are determined by the three lowest scores (gross) of each four-player team. Players will also be competing for the Sally Pini award, which recognizes the individual medalist.
