Hosted by PURE Insurance and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, the tournament pairs First Tee participants with PGA TOUR Champions professionals and business leaders who are competing in the amateur field. The juniors will have the opportunity to showcase the skills and values they have developed through First Tee while learning about opportunities golf can provide both on and off the course.

The participants, ages 14-18, were selected based on their golf skills and personal growth through First Tee’s youth development programs. The event also gives juniors a national stage to connect with peers and experience the game at some of its most iconic venues.

Tournament play begins Friday on both courses. Following Saturday’s rounds, the top 24 juniors will advance to Sunday’s final round at Pebble Beach, where one male and one female First Tee participant will be crowned champions. The tournament will be broadcast internationally on the Golf Channel.
