About
The Arnold Palmer Legacy
Arnold Palmer was a legend in the game. He believed you must play boldly to win on the course and in life.
That mentality was cultivated at a young age, when he learned that golf is about more than a scorecard. The Arnold Palmer Junior Golf Tour believes every player deserves the opportunity to find out what they are capable of. Every round, much like every day, is an opportunity for greatness. We exist to create a safe environment for young golfers to compete and discover their true self. There is nothing easy about this game, but there should not be anything difficult about enjoying it.
Who we are
The Arnold Palmer Junior Golf Tour is a modern junior golf tour built around the character and competitive drive that fueled Arnold Palmer. We combine meaningful competition with innovative formats, memorable experiences, and opportunities that reward improvement, sportsmanship and passion, not just first place.
Mr. Palmer knew that long after the score is forgotten, it is the people you meet, the manner in which you carry yourself, and the memories you create that define your journey through life.
Why this tour was created
Youth golf needs to evolve. While golf has embraced new technology, new players and new ways to experience the sport, junior tournaments have remained largely unchanged for decades. We believe every young golfer, whether they are chasing a college scholarship or simply playing for the love of the game, deserves an experience that values character, friendships and fun just as much as the final score.
What we stand on
Play boldly
Every round, much like every day, is an opportunity for greatness.
Take control
Reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.
Part of something bigger
Long after the score is forgotten, it is the people you meet and the memories you make that define the journey.
In his words
“You must play boldly to win.”
“You either go for the cup, or you crawl to it.”
“Why hit a conservative shot? When you miss it, you are in just as much trouble as when you miss a bold one.”
“As my father taught me, you don’t need to tell anybody how good you are. You show them how good you are.”
“I’ve always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.”
“Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.”
“When you play by the rules, defy mental demons, overcome every challenge, and enjoy a walk in the country at the same time, that’s being alive.”
“I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either.”
Every round is an opportunity.
