BRASELTON, Ga. -- The American Junior Golf Association announced that Crocs, Inc. will become a Tournament Partner for three AJGA events. The Coca-Cola Junior Championship will be held July 3-6 at Boyne Highlands Resort’s Moor Course in Harbor Springs, Mich., and feature 144 juniors. The Midwest Junior Players Championship will be held July 23-26 at Hawthorn Woods Country Club in Hawthorne, Ill., and feature 99 juniors. The Fidelity Investments Stars of Texas Junior will be held Aug. 7-10 at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas, and feature 120 juniors.

These events will feature the nation’s top junior boys and girls, ages 12-18. Crocs, Inc. will be awarding gift certificates for merchandise to junior golfers during all three of these events.

Crocs, Inc., a worldwide company, are currently sold in more than 80 countries and come in a wide array of colors and styles. The dedication that Crocs, Inc. has shown to the community in past years is one of the many reasons the AJGA is proud to have them as a partner.

“The AJGA is very pleased to announce our partnership with Crocs, which will enhance our juniors’ experiences at each of these events,” said Jason Etzen, AJGA executive vice president of corporate partnerships. “Crocs support will help the country’s best junior golfers gain exposure for college golf scholarships.”

The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA, the largest Association of its kind, has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of more than 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and 30 foreign countries.

Titleist, the AJGA’s National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association’s success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA’s second Premier Partner.

AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III, Cristie Kerr, Pat Hurst, Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome, Morgan Pressel and Julieta Granada.
