To the Parents // College Scholarships

DEAR PARENTS OF JUNIOR GOLFERS:

Our Mission: Helping Junior Golfers Love the Game and Reach Their Highest Potential

Since the beginning, our mission has been clear: create a junior golf environment where players and parents feel welcomed, supported, and inspired—while still providing a legitimate pathway to elite competition and college golf.

Everything we’ve built over the last two decades has been intentional.
And as we head into 2026, that mission has never been stronger.

Events That Matter — Without the Massive Cost

We set out to build high-level competitive events that don’t require families to spend tens of thousands of dollars just to qualify or be seen. That approach was challenging early on—but it’s now one of the defining strengths of the FCG Tour.

Today, FCG events consistently attract college coaches from 25+ universities, with many more following our players and results remotely.

• The FCG National Championship has become one of the most heavily followed junior events on the West Coast

• The FCG International had 30 College Coaches in 2025 and the FCG Callaway World Championship had 35 College Coaches in 2025.

• In recent years, 25+ college coaches have recruited in connection with this championship

• Many of those coaches return annually, with new programs added each year

• After every 2–3 day event, results are emailed directly to college coaches nationwide, expanding exposure far beyond those in attendance

This is real visibility, earned through performance—not paywalls.

Inclusion Over Exclusion

Our philosophy is different from most junior tours.

Instead of exclusion, we focus on opportunity and access.

• Players can register and compete in all of our events without navigating barriers except for the FCG Callaway World Championship.  The most valuable junior golf tournament is the FCG International which is completely open first come first serve and attracts over 30 college coaches a year.

• They play outstanding championship-caliber courses

• They do so at a much lower cost than comparable national tours

At the same time, we introduced the FCG Elite Player System, ensuring that top-level players consistently compete against other top-level players—while still preserving opportunity for developing golfers.

Everyone has a place.
Everyone has a pathway.

A Positive, Player-First Culture

The environment at FCG events is intentional.

Our staff is passionate, accessible, and deeply invested in every player’s experience.

• Every player is treated with respect

• Every competitor has an equal opportunity to succeed

• The atmosphere is competitive, professional, and positive

If you’ve been around the tour, you’ve felt it already.
Have you met Antrone? Talked with Stephanie? Worked with Ron?

This culture didn’t happen by accident—it was built.

---

Advisory Board

To ensure continued excellence, FCG established an Advisory Board of respected leaders within the golf industry, focused on innovation, growth, and maintaining the highest standards in junior golf.

---

Affiliates & Community Respect

FCG believes in growing the game together.

We actively coordinate with local and regional tours—such as junior golf associations—so schedules complement one another rather than compete. Our goal has always been to support the junior golf ecosystem, not overpower it.
