Junior PGA Championship

One of golf's major championships for juniors, the Westfield Junior PGA Championship is where the best in the world get their start. The Championship celebrates its 33rd anniversary, August 13-16, 2008, at TPC River's Bend in Mainevill, Ohio. Begun in 1976, at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., the Championship has been a popular stop on the national junior circuit for many of today's PGA and LPGA touring professionals.

The Junior PGA Championship moved to Callaway Gardens in Mountain View, Ga., in 1978, and two years later was hosted by PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., which would eventually host 19 Championships over the next two decades. The Championship also visited Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Mo., in 1988 and Pinehurst (N.C.) Resort & Country Club in 1993. The Championship returned to PGA National Golf Club in 1994 and remained at the site until 2001. The Maxfli Golf Division served as title sponsor of the Junior PGA Championship from 1991 to 1999.

Westfield Insurance, one of the country's premier insurance carriers, became title sponsor in 2001, and elevated the Championship to yet another level.

Past Junior PGA Championship competitors who have gone on to successful professional careers include: Billy Andrade, Kathy Baker, Brandie Burton, Stewart Cink, Chris Couch, Rick Fehr, Jim Gallagher Jr., Trevor Immelman, Cristie Kerr, Justin Leonard, Billy Mayfair, Michelle McGann, Phil Mickelson, Sean O’Hair, Grace Park, Dottie Pepper, Stacy Prammanasudh, Scott Verplank, Willie Wood and Tiger Woods.
