To deliver the highest value experience to junior golfers with competitive fields at premiere venues. The IJGT offers international exposure and college placement assistance, as well as skill, character, and confidence building blocks for success in life.
In 1995, the International Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) opened its doors on Hilton Head Island, SC. At that time, there was no organized school year junior golf tour available for the academy’s six students. Ray Travaglione, founder of IJGA, recognized that regular competition experiences were necessary to challenge and develop players; hence, he created the International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT).
In its first year of operation, the IJGT held eight regional events. Three years later, the IJGT had expanded to 23 events nationwide. Now in its 28th year, the IJGT is open to all junior golfers.
