Welcome to the "104th Western Junior Championship" Event Portal

This website will contain both information for players in the field and those following along at home. 

The Western Junior, the oldest national junior tournament in the United States, draws the top junior players from more than 40 states and internationally each year. The event has long been a testing ground for stars of the future, including current PGA TOUR stars Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Collin Morikawa, and Rickie Fowler, and veterans Fred Couples, Craig Stadler and Corey Pavin.

Naperville Country Club will host its first Western Junior championship 101 years after opening as a nine-hole golf course with sand greens. Shortly after opening, renowned course architect Tom Bendelow came in to build a challenging 18-hole golf course on the 124-acre property.  Bendelow’s design remained intact until 2006, when architect Steve Forest completed a major course renovation. He focused on adding length to the golf course and developing new green complexes. Overall, 13 holes were rerouted and the remaining five holes were strategically lengthened to complete the design. The result is a difficult test of golf.
