JPGT sanctions tournaments for WAGR points, boosting international exposure
The Junior Philippine Golf Tour (JPGT) is expanding its role as a premier platform for developing young golfers by sanctioning all its tournaments for World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) points.
Two upcoming events, the ICTSI Eagle Ridge JPGT Championship on April 8-11 and the ICTSI Sherwood Hills JPGT Championship on April 22-24, will offer WAGR points to participants, enhancing their competitive significance.
Colo Ventosa, general manager of Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc., emphasized that this recognition underscores the circuit's importance as a credible pathway for Filipino junior golfers to gain international exposure.
Launched in 2023 by ICTSI chairman Ricky Razon, the JPGT provides young golfers with a structured and competitive environment fostering values such as dedication and resilience.
Top junior golfers are also preparing for the Uswing Mojing Junior World Qualifying tournament at The Country Club in Santa Rosa, Laguna, which will determine qualifiers for the Junior World Championships in California from July 5-10.
