Junior Players Championship

Overview

The Junior PLAYERS Championship, conducted annually since 2007 by the AJGA in partnership with PGA TOUR, is widely considered the most prestigious individual junior stroke play event in the U.S. The event uses the identical course setup as THE PLAYERS Championship, including the famous island-green par-3 17th hole. Miles Russell made history in 2025 as the first two-time champion, having also won in 2023 as the youngest champion in event history at age 14.
