The Canongate Junior tour is a year-round competitive junior golf tour that is designed to both introduce young juniors to tournament play and take accomplished junior golfers to the next level. The tour consists of 250 players from age 7 to 17. These juniors compete in regional events throughout the year and four “majors” held in the summer months. All competition throughout the year has led to earning points toward becoming a team member in the coveted Nike Cup.

This inaugural event matches the top 20 Canongate Junior Tour players against the top 20 junior golfers from Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
The event will be contested Oct. 27 and 28 at SummerGrove in Newnan.
