Tampa, Fla. – The Florida State Golf Association is proud to announce the 32 junior golfers named to the 2024 Junior Florida Cup teams. Most are familiar with the customary format of the event. The 32 competitors are divided into teams based on the region they reside: North and South. Each team consists of 10 boys and 6 girls, in which the North and South teams will be pitted against each other in a Ryder Cup style format to ultimately clinch the victory and raise the trophy.
Bent Pine Golf Club will play host to the 18th Junior Florida Cup matches, set to take place August 4-6. Bent Pine hosted as the second site for the 107th Amateur Championship in June, and provided a fantastic test of golf for the players. The FSGA is happy to return to the course for a fun and challenging competition with the best junior golfers in the state. The traditional Ryder Cup format will be played out as follows: Four-Ball matches take place on Monday Morning with Foursome matches to follow. Monday evening the players will attend a pairings dinner. Finally, Tuesday morning brings the Singles matches followed by the trophy and awards presentation. Each match is worth one point to the team total and the first team to 16 ½ points wins the cup for one year. A 16-16 tie results in the defending champions retaining the Cup for an additional year.
Last year the South Team successfully defended their title with a final score of 21-11. However, the North Team still leads the overall results 11-5-1. Will the South Team continue their reign for yet another year, or will the North Team take back the cup? Check out the teams below!
