Bonus – This event is a Qualifying Event for the IMG Academy Junior World Championship the following week which
The Beginning (Spring 2008) – While recovering from hernia repair surgery and being laid up for a week watching the Masters on TV, our FCG Founder Chris Smeal aimed to develop a warm up event for the Junior World Championship annually held in San Diego, CA. The goal was to allow anyone to play local and international with the International kids having a chance to get acclimated before the big event and the local kids that didn’t qualify for Junior World a chance to experience something similar. The event would be named the San Diego Junior Masters. In the first year we expected to attract maybe 80 players and had coordinated Grant Strobel, the Tournament Director at Carlton Oaks to run it. We attracted 230 kids from around the world and was nice that the Girls 15-18 Division was playing Carlton Oaks that year with Torrey being closed because of the 2008 US Open Championship.
2013 – The Event gets attention from Augusta National – In Spring 2013 Chris Smeal receives a letter from Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters saying our Tournament Name was infringing our Intellectual Property with the word Masters in our title. Read article in San Diego Union Tribune. Rather than fight for the name FCG changed the event name to the FCG International Junior Golf Championship that better reflected the size and scope of the event anyways.
2015 – College Coaches – Really started gaining the attention of College Golf Coaches with 26 College Coaches in attendance recruiting at the event. FCG has made a huge push to network and work with College Coaches to help get kids to college. In 2016 we had 30 College Coaches in attendance and it has become one of the most heavily recruited events in the world.
2017 – 10th Annual FCG International Junior Golf Championship – This year will be our 10th Annual Event and we are gearing up for our largest event in our history. The biggest event was last year with 632 players representing 32 countries. For the 10th Annual event we have brought Carlton Oaks Golf Course back in the rotation of courses for the Boys 15-18 to compete and we look to host over 260 players in this division. Players will compete on both Sycuan Willow Glen and Carlton Oaks and the top finishers will advance to the final round at Sycuan Resort.
