FCG Callaway World Championship

The FCG Callaway World Championship is organized by Future Champions Golf (FCG) and is one of the largest and most prestigious junior golf tournaments globally. The event features multiple age divisions from 7 to 18 years old, with play held over several days across 10 to 12 championship golf courses primarily in the Palm Desert, California region. The format is stroke play, typically with a cut after two rounds where the top 50% of players advance to the final round. The field usually includes around 700 to 850 junior golfers from over 50 countries. Qualification for the event is highly competitive, with over 120 qualifying opportunities worldwide leading up to the championship. Top finishers from the previous year earn exemptions, and the qualifying period runs from August 1 to May 30 annually. The event also draws significant attention from college golf coaches, offering exposure and pathways to collegiate and professional golf careers.
