PING continues to strengthen its commitment to junior golf by announcing the launch of the PING Junior Golf Tour.

Building on the success of a 15-year partnership with the Northern Junior Tour, the new initiative will see PING expand the reach across the UK increasing the opportunities to a larger number of junior golfers.

While doing so, the tour remains committed to preserving its community-driven spirit, introducing innovative and inclusive initiatives that will allow young players to develop their skills and grow within the sport. 

“We’re delighted to be launching the PING Junior Golf Tour in 2025 and further expanding our support of junior golf in the UK,” commented Matt Clark, European Marketing Manager at PING Europe. 

“We have a great relationship with Jason Budd (Founder/Tour Director) and Mike Greener (Tour Director) and they’ve done a fantastic job in creating an incredibly strong golfing community.”

Through PING's dedication and commitment, the community-oriented atmosphere is at the heart of what the tour aims to achieve, fostering a supportive yet competitive environment for players of all skill levels and nurturing young talent and promoting the game at a grassroots level.

“Regardless of age or ability, we want everybody to come to our events, have fun, and play your best,” added Clark.
