Thirty participants from the local U.S. Kids Golf Phoenix Tour played in Pinehurst, NC at the Teen World and US Kids Golf World Championships. The tournaments were played July 24-26 and July 31- August 2, in the Pinehurst community on several of the nation’s most beautiful courses. There were over 2000 participants from the US and World. The World Championships are the largest Junior Golf tournaments in the world. U.S. Kids Golf Local Tours provide boys and girls, ages 5 to 14, the opportunity to advance their golf skills in age-appropriate competition without having to take the time and incur the costs of having to travel long distances.
Similar to the PGA Tour, players at U.S. Kids Golf events are encouraged to have caddies to help them play their best. Allowing caddies is a special component of our tournaments and is part of our commitment to encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories. Players age 8 and under must have a caddie at all times.
The top five finishers in each age group will receive priority status from U.S. Kids Golf, granting them priority registration for major events. The Player of the Year in each age group will receive green status, the highest level awarded, which results in an invitation to the World Championship, held each year at Pinehurst Resort.
