The Tour features 20 regular season events at the top golf courses in the state of WV with the Tour Championship being held at The Greenbrier Sporting Club’s Snead Course, where the top players in each age group will play at the end of the season to determine the Players of the Year.

Our Mission
At the Callaway Junior Tour, our mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of golfers.
We strive to cultivate not only exceptional golfing abilities but also values of integrity, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. Through our events and programs, we aim to foster a love for the game that extends beyond the fairways.
What We Offer:
Tournaments: We organize a series of tournaments held at prestigious courses, offering junior golfers the opportunity to compete with others within their specific age group. We also offer tournaments through a developmental league, the Callaway Junior Tour Rookie League, that allows golfers of all skill levels to be exposed to competition at an appropriate skill level rather than an age determination.
Another highlight of each year is the High School Series. Golfers compete as both teams and individuals at many tournaments that kick off the high school golf season in the state of West Virginia. Teams accumulate points towards the annual Tri-State/Service Roofing & Sheet Metal Cup.
Rules and Etiquette: Our tournaments follow the rules of golf with local and tour rules also in place. Across the many levels of competition, participants will learn and be subject to the rules of golf and be expected to follow them. They will also be expected to adhere to the behavior guidelines and etiquette of the game.
Scholarship Opportunities: We believe in investing in the future of our young athletes. Through partnerships and initiatives, we provide scholarships and educational support to deserving players.
Community: The Callaway Junior Tour is more than just a golfing circuit; it’s a community. We foster connections among players, families, coaches, and supporters, creating a network of like-minded individuals passionate about the game.
