For junior players, the week represents both a competitive test and a chance to experience one of golf’s landmark venues.
The event format includes gross scoring with no handicaps. According to Underrated Golf’s format information, winners will receive the Underrated Golf European Trophy and automatic entry into the Underrated Golf Tour Championship — the Curry Cup — in the United States.
The Belfry stop is part of Underrated Golf’s broader effort to identify and recognize talented young golfers across Europe. The tour’s mission extends beyond tournament scores, focusing on access, representation, and the long-term opportunities that golf can create both on and off the course.
