Now top junior golfers from all over the world will be competing in a Ryder Cup team format. This will be a great opportunity for these accomplished junior golfers to test their skills against their counterparts in a team atmosphere and learn the strategies that come with match play. This also gives them an opportunity to meet new people and make new friendships from around the world.
The teams will consist of junior golfers, boys from the age of 9 to 14 years old and girls from the age of 11 to 15. Team members will have to qualify through sanctioned tournaments to be invited to play in this event. Each country or regional team will determine their own qualifications of which players qualify for their respective team.
