What is Oregon Junior Golf

Oregon Junior Golf seeks to promote life skills and values to kids through the game of golf. Since its inception, over 10,000 young golfers between the ages of 8 and 17 have participated in Oregon Junior Golf.  The Oregon Golf Association established Oregon Junior Golf Fund, Inc. (OJGF) as a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation for the purpose of introducing children to the sport as well as develop competitive junior golfers.

OJGF oversees a nationally recognized junior golf program for over 1,100 youth in Oregon and SW Washington.  Each year, it presents more than 60 days of competition and more than 6,000 rounds of competitive golf for Junior Golfers ranging in age from 8 through 17. 

Most successful high school golfers honed their skills in OJGF competitions, and many earn scholarships to Division 1 programs as a result of capturing the attention of the golf coaches that attend our events.

Oregon Junior Golf also has developed one of the premiere regional junior golf competitions in the country, the Hogan Cup.  Hogan Cup alumni include tour players such as Bobby Clampett, Fred Couples, Joe Rassett, Jack Renner, Lennie Clements, Scott Simpson, Rick Fehr, Robert Gamez, Bill Sanders, Kirk Triplett, Jim Nelford, John Fought, Peter Jacobsen, Jeff Quinney, Casey Martin, Michael Putnam, Ricky Barnes, Jason Gore and Tiger Woods.
