A team of juniors from Golf Australia's High Performance Program will be hosted by the United States Golf Association's (USGA) National Junior Team in July for a match at SentryWorld in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

A World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR)-sanctioned event, the match will feature 12 players representing each nation in a mixed Ryder Cup-style format over three days. The format is as follows:

Tuesday, July 1 – Four-Ball Team Matches (am), Foursomes Team Matches (pm) Wednesday, July 2 – Singles Matches.

“We are delighted to partner with the USGA in this exciting initiative as a first for the US Team,” said Brad James, general manager of High Performance at Golf Australia (GA).

“We see this as a tremendous opportunity not only from a competitive standpoint, but as a great chance for the USGA and Golf Australia to share information on high performance. Australia and the United States have a great friendship, and that applies to golf as well, not to mention a healthy rivalry that exists through all levels of the game.”

Head coach of the US National Teams Chris Zambri said: “This match is another milestone in advancing the vision of the U.S. National Development Program by empowering elite juniors with a chance to play on the international stage.”

“We’re thankful to Golf Australia for partnering on this initiative, allowing our athletes to compete and learn from one another in what we hope is the first of many more events to come.”

The US squad for this match is composed of the top six male and top six female junior golfers on the US National Junior Team based on their WAGR ranking, and on the Australian side, the roster was selected by Golf Australia’s High Performance selection committee.
