Future Champions Golf is excited to announce updated tournament yardages across the FCG Tour, starting now.
As junior golf continues to evolve, so does the level of competition. With more FCG players competing at the collegiate, national, international, and professional levels, we believe our tournament setup should continue to challenge players and prepare them for what comes next.
That’s why we have added length to most FCG World Series events, bringing tournament yardages more in line with the courses and distances players will encounter in college golf and beyond.
Preparing Players for the Next Level
Our goal has always been bigger than simply running tournaments.
FCG was founded to help junior golfers get better, learn how to compete, and create opportunities to play at the next level. Today, that mission continues through more than 150 tournaments in the United States, international events, major championships, and pathways to college and elite amateur golf.
The updated yardages are another step in that development process.
By challenging players with longer setups, we can help them develop the skills needed to compete on longer championship courses, manage different distances, make better strategic decisions, and ultimately become more prepared for collegiate competition.

🏌️ FCG Kids Tour
The Kids Tour will continue to focus on development, growth, and fun, with age-appropriate yardages designed specifically for younger golfers.
Not every junior golfer needs to play longer courses. Development happens at different stages, and the Kids Tour will remain focused on giving young players an opportunity to learn, compete, and enjoy the game.
Why Are We Making This Change?
With so many FCG players continuing on to college golf and beyond, we want our events to better mirror the demands of the next level.
Longer yardages can encourage players to develop:
- Greater driving distance and consistency
- More effective course management
- Stronger long-iron and fairway-wood play
- Better strategic decision-making
- The ability to manage longer championship layouts
- A deeper understanding of how to score when the course gets tougher
Most importantly, we want every FCG tournament to mean something in a player’s development.
FCG has always believed that multi-day competitive golf helps players grow. Our updated yardages are another way we can create environments that challenge players while preparing them for the opportunities ahead.
More Opportunities. Higher Standards. Global Pathways.
The yardage updates are part of a larger vision for FCG.
Today, players can progress through local and regional tournaments, national competition, international events, major championships, college recruiting opportunities, and pathways toward elite amateur and professional golf.
That pathway continues to expand, including FCG’s growing international schedule and college recruiting platform, Campus.
We believe junior golf should lead somewhere.
Every tournament should matter.
Every round should be part of a bigger journey.
The updated yardages are one more way we’re raising the standard and giving players the opportunity to prepare for what’s next.
FCG — Raising the Standard. Building Champions.
Yardages will always depend on golf course length and will be determined by FCG in advance of each event.
