Now in its 35th year, the CJGA World Junior Championship is a flagship event organized by the Canadian Junior Golf Association. Since 1993, this championship has welcomed thousands of junior golfers from over 30 countries, competing on some of Florida’s most renowned golf courses.

Traditionally held during the winter holiday season (December 27-30), this prestigious event provides Canadian and international juniors the opportunity to compete in a globally ranked tournament while enjoying the unique culture of Florida golf during their winter break.

In 2026, the CJGA World Junior Championship returns to the historic Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida, from December 27-30. Competitors will play in either the Linksters (5-12) or Juniors/Amateurs (13-24) Division. Juniors/Amateurs will play on the Copperhead and Island Courses. Linksters will play on the North Course.

Copperhead Course is the home of the PGA Valspar Championship.

Please Note

The Copperhead and Island Courses will be used for the Junior/Amateur Boys/Girls U15 (13-14), U19 (15-18), U45 (19-44). The North Course will be used for the CJGA Linksters Boys/Girls U13 (11-12), U11 (5-10).

A practice round will be provided for the Linksters on the first day of the World Junior Championship. Practice rounds for the Junior/Amateurs are the responsibility of the players and are not scheduled by the CJGA.
