The Junior Presidents Cup is a junior team golf competition between the United States and an International team representing the rest of the world excluding Europe. It is based around the Presidents Cup and is run by the PGA Tour and American Junior Golf Association. The inaugural 2017 event took place at the Plainfield Country Club, Edison, New Jersey on September 25 and 26. [1] The 2019 event will be held on 8 and 9 December 2019
The teams consist of 12 junior boys aged 19 or younger. Players must be amateurs who have not yet started college and are not members of a competitive collegiate golf program. Members of each team qualify through a ranking system. In 2017 the US team qualification was determined by the Rolex AJGA Rankings, while the International Team selection used the World Amateur Golf Rankings. [2] 11 members of each team were selected based on the rankings on August 3 with the final place being given to the leading player in the rankings, not already qualified, on September 6. [3] [4] In 2019 the same system was used except that all 12 members of the team were selected based on the rankings on September 5.
The event is held over two days, with six fourballs and six foursomes matches on the first day, and twelve singles matches on the second day. [5]
