About the Competition
In 2003 the Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) & the International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) developed a partnership to enhance the international opportunities for junior golfers in both countries. The North America Cup is unique to both Canada and the USA as it was the first international junior event to take on a Ryder Cup format.
Notable participants of this event include Rickie Fowler (2003) and Morgan Hoffmann (2005). The 18th annual addition will be hosted by the IJGT in Hilton Head, SC.
