Strength of field

The 2026 field features defending champion Ivan Popp of Lafayette, who posted –4 (212) to win the 2025 edition, along with a competitive roster of up to 156 junior golfers vying for the state's most prestigious junior title.

Course expectations

Santa Maria Golf Club will challenge competitors with its parkland layout in Baton Rouge, requiring accurate ball-striking and course management over three rounds to contend for the championship.

Weather risk

Mid-July in Louisiana can bring afternoon thunderstorms and high heat; players should prepare for potential delays, as weather has suspended play in past editions of this championship.
