A Tournament Rich in Heritage

Born in 1968 thanks to visionaries like John Brown and A.S. “Lou” Smith, the Junior World began with just 475 players representing 20 U.S. states and six countries. Today it has bloomed into a global cornerstone of junior golf—recently rebranded as the Uswing Mojing Junior World (Amateur Golf).
