Golf Digest Japan Junior Cup

The Golf Digest Japan Junior Cup is organized by Golf Digest Japan and supported by Tomei Country Club, managed by the Golf Digest Japan Junior Cup Committee. The event is divided into multiple age groups ranging from 6-7 years to 15-17 years, with competitions held over several days. Younger divisions (ages 6-7 and 8-9) play finals in 18-hole stroke play rounds, while older groups such as the 15-17 division compete in a rigorous 54-hole stroke play tournament staged over three days with cuts after 36 holes. The format includes qualifiers and practice rounds, with competitors usually accompanied by a guardian acting as a caddie. Ties in younger divisions are settled by the Matching Scorecard Method, and playoffs determine winners in older groups. Entry fees and play fees vary by age division. The event offers a prestigious platform for junior golfers in Japan.
