Mr. Notah Begay III, a Native American Pro Golfer on the PGA and an analyst on the Golf Channel created this event to provide a platform for players to compete against the best juniors in the Country in a true, open qualifying series. The National Championship will be televised on Golf Channel that will be airing over 2 hours of broadcast time. These players will have a chance to be recognized on a platform like no other. Some notable juniors who played in the National Championship are Charlie Woods and our very own, Leo Saito and Noah Okazaki.
This is a very special event for BIJGA juniors ages 10 and up. For the third year in a row, BIJGA has been invited to host this Local Qualifier. This one-day tournament is 18 holes, stroke play, beginning at 11:42am (1st Tee Time). Securing a qualifying spot will allow the junior to play in the Hawaii Regional Qualifier two-day Tournament which will be held on Kauai on August 1-2, 2025 at Wailua Golf Course. And the winners/qualifiers of the Hawaii Regional Qualifier will then move on to play in the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship at Koasati Pines at Coushatta located in Kinder, Louisiana in November.
Girls National Championship Tournament: Nov 2-4, 2025
Boys National Championship Tournament: Nov 7-9, 2025.
Mahalo,
