Dear Junior Golfers and Parents,
We are excited to be entering our 15th year of junior golf programming. Future Champions Golf continues to grow to new levels each year thanks to your support of our efforts to build the most exciting, the most affordable, and the most productive junior golf program on the planet. We have an exciting year ahead planned for everyone and wanted to take this time to tell you more about what we have been up to enhance every area of the program. We have made a few changes to the lay out of the Tour that includes replacing the FCG Step Up Tour with the all new FCG KBS 1-DAY SERIES that will surely attract both developing and top players as we will be competing on some of the best courses in Southern California and for amazing one-day event pricing. The biggest news and change will be the way our major world series events work specifically the FCG Callaway World Championship and the FCG National Championship. Both events now feature over 500 players and we need to create the best qualifying system for both events to manage the growth of the events. The FCG International Junior Golf Championship will remain as the largest OPEN event in Junior Golf and one of the most highly recruited events by College Golf Coaches.
We aim for the first half of each year to be a massive build up of excitement for the mid-summer FCG Callaway World Championship then after that event concludes the rest of year is a build up to the end of year FCG National Championship. Through all levels of our Tour there will be qualifying opportunities to secure your spot in these amazing events. Qualifying for the IMG Academy Junior World Championship via the FCG Tour will again take place at the FCG National Championship, FCG Texas Championship, FCG Las Vegas Championship at Primm, and the FCG International Junior Golf Championship.
We recently announced our FCG Advisory Board that makes up industry leaders in many different fields bringing us another level of expertise and advice we haven’t had before. This team was formed to help us expand on what we have created while maintaining the affordability of all the programs we offer. This board is formed of Junior Golf Enthusiasts who seek to see Future Champions Golf be the leading organization in junior golf. Thank you all for your support of FCG!
