HISTORY & PAST RESULTS
LINKS: TERMS | THE FIELD | ENTRY PRIORITY
The New York State Boys’ & Girls’ 18U Junior Amateur Championship was formed to identify the best junior golfers in New York - period. Over time, it has become the state’s most coveted junior title—a proving ground for boys and girls from Jamestown to Plattsburgh, Binghamton to Montauk.
These past champions have gone on to enjoy remarkable success as standout amateurs or career professionals. These lists include USGA champions, PGA/LPGA Tour veterans, and even major winners - including the Masters, PGA Championship, and Nabisco Dinah Shore (now the Chevron Championship).
Beginning in 2024, NYS Boys’ and Girls’ 18U champions were exempt into the U.S. Junior and U.S. Girls’ Junior Amateur Championships, an exciting opportunity granted by the USGA to recognize the quality of the championship field. The champions also earn invitations to top junior competitions across the country and become fully exempt with the AJGA - American Junior Golf Association.
