About The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT)

The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) was founded in 2007 with the intention of providing junior golfers between the ages of 8-18 an opportunity to play exceptional courses in a competitive environment. Our tour’s vision is to provide superb hospitality and make every event a truly memorable one. With play open to both males and females, nearly every junior golfer is eligible to participate on the HJGT.

Currently, the HJGT stands as the largest junior golf tour in the world, hosting more 2-day nationally ranked events than any other tour. In 2017, the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour announced a significant partnership with Nexus, an international hospitality and entertainment company backed by financier Joe Lewis and Tavistock Group, golfing great Tiger Woods, and musician and entertainer Justin Timberlake. This collaboration will further our collective goal of growing the game of golf, broadening the Tour’s reach across the U.S. and around the world.
