About the tournament

The North & South Junior Championship is one of golf's most storied junior events, part of the prestigious North & South series at Pinehurst Resort that dates back decades. Competitors aged 18 and under vie for the coveted Putterboy Trophy and a place on the Heritage Hall's Perpetual Wall, with boys playing two rounds on No. 6 and one on No. 2, while girls play two rounds on No. 5 before their finale on the famed No. 2.

Strategic Insight

Expected cut lineNo cut (54 holes)After 36 holes

Strength of field

The field draws top-ranked juniors nationwide through exemptions for state champions, AJGA standouts, and junior ranking leaders—typical competitors hold single-digit handicaps and elite junior résumés.

Course expectations

Pinehurst No. 2's crowned turtleback greens and wide fairways with native wiregrass demand precision iron play and a deft short game; the multiple-course format tests adaptability as boys also face No. 6 and girls tackle No. 5.

Weather risk

Late June in North Carolina's Sandhills brings heat and humidity; players must stay hydrated across 54 holes in three days, and afternoon thunderstorms are common.
