The American Junior Golf Association is a "501 nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf." AJGA is considered by many leaders in the golf industry to be the premier junior golf association of the world. Evidenced of AJGA's premier standing is shown through support from such organizations as Titleist, Rolex and Ralph Lauren, the United States Golf Association, and official partners such as HP, FootJoy and PING. These relationships span multiple decades and help the AJGA focus its efforts on providing an unparalleled membership experience.
The AJGA has run elite tournaments for junior golfers of both sexes in the United States since 1978. As of 2013, the AJGA stages more than 100 tournaments a season. The Association is headquartered at Chateau Elan Resort in Braselton, Georgia. Currently, the AJGA focuses more on developing golfers at the highest skill levels of both sexes, preparing them for college golf, rather than fostering the recreational side of the sport, which is clearly conveyed in its mission statement.
