The Junior Florida Cup is a Ryder Cup-style event that pits the best junior golfers in Florida against each other. It is a fun-filled three days that starts off with team meetings and practice rounds, followed by an optional team activity. The first day of matches includes Four-Ball matches (two person best ball) as well as Mixed-Foursomes (boy/girl alternate shot) which are followed by the pairings dinner at the club. During dinner, players select who they would like to play against in the following day's singles matches - something that always provides for some entertaining moments! Just like the Ryder Cup, the final day concludes with singles matches followed by the trophy presentation. For those who are invited, it is a can't miss opportunity!
This event is invitation only. Boys and girls are invited by their standing on the Junior Florida Cup points list after the Memorial Day Major events. All FJT events held in August of the previous year through May of the current year are included in the points list.
