About the AJGA
The American Junior Golf
Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall
growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf
scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA provides valuable
exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership
(boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,500 junior golfers from 49
states and more than 40 countries. To ensure scholarship opportunities for all
junior golfers who have the skill, the AJGA created the Achieving Competitive
Excellence (ACE) Grant program to provide financial assistance to young players
in need.
Titleist, the AJGA's National
Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's
success since 1989. Rolex, which is in its third decade of AJGA support, became
the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support,
Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the
top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. Former AJGA juniors have
compiled more than 500 victories on the PGA and LPGA Tours. AJGA alumni include
Stewart Cink, Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Paula Creamer,
Cristie Kerr, Inbee Park and Morgan Pressel.
