Junior golfers across the United States will have the opportunity to qualify to represent their country in a new international team championship
SAN DIEGO, CA — August 2026 — Future Champions Golf (FCG) is proud to announce the launch of the FCG U.S. National Team Qualifying System, creating a nationwide pathway for junior golfers to earn a place on Team USA at the inaugural 2027 FCG Global Golf Games.
The FCG Global Golf Games will be held July 26–29, 2027, at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort in Southern California, bringing together junior golfers from around the world for an international team competition unlike anything previously offered by FCG.
PLAY FOR YOUR COUNTRY. COMPETE WITH THE WORLD.
Beginning in Fall 2026, junior golfers across the United States will have the opportunity to compete their way through a two-stage qualifying process for the FCG U.S. National Team.
Designated qualifying opportunities will take place throughout the country, giving players the chance to begin earning their place on Team USA well ahead of the 2027 FCG Global Golf Games.
The first qualifying opportunities will begin in Fall 2026, with qualifying continuing through April 30, 2027.
The goal is to make earning a Team USA position something truly special.
Rather than simply selecting a team, FCG is building a competitive qualifying system that gives junior golfers from across the country an opportunity to earn their way onto Team USA through tournament performance.
THE ROAD TO TEAM USA BEGINS THIS FALL
The first qualifying opportunities for the 2027 FCG U.S. National Team will begin in Fall 2026, with designated events across the United States.
Players will compete for the opportunity to advance through the Team USA pathway and ultimately earn the honor of wearing the Future Champions Golf U.S. National Team colors at the 2027 FCG Global Golf Games.
