Manesar (Haryana) will host the US Kids Golf Indian Championship 2025 from December 17 to 19 at the Classic Golf & Country Club, underlining India’s growing role on the junior golf scene. The three-day event aims to elevate junior golf development while giving young competitors international exposure and ranking opportunities.
Now in its fifth edition, the US Kids Golf Indian Championship is recognised as a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) and Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) event, boosting its international credibility and appeal to players across Asia and beyond.
The tournament is expected to attract around 100 young golfers from India and several other countries, with participants competing in multiple age divisions ranging from Under-7 through Under-18. This structure allows boys and girls at various stages of their junior golf journey to compete on a championship stage and gain valuable competition experience.
Apart from traditional stroke-play competition, the 2025 championship introduces expanded competitive formats and incentives designed to enhance player development. Participants will take part in age-specific groupings, with tailored course setups that reflect standard junior golf practices. High finishing positions may contribute to improved priority status on the broader US Kids Golf circuit, including pathways to major global events.
A notable addition for this year’s edition is prize money for amateur winners across select age categories, alongside a dedicated Skills Contest over two days. Winners in each category stand to earn cash rewards, while top performers can secure priority toward key U.S. Kids Golf events in Europe and the United States.
The Classic Golf & Country Club in Manesar, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course known for its championship layout, will test the young competitors with varied holes and strategic challenges. Hosting junior golf events of this scale underscores India’s advancing presence in the global junior golf circuit and supports the sport’s grassroots growth across the country.
Organisers and golf development advocates see the US Kids Golf Indian Championship as more than just a tournament. It’s a platform for emerging talent to gain international exposure, build competitive experience, and take early steps toward elite junior golf events worldwide. Performances here could help young players qualify for the US Kids Golf European Championships and World Championships in 2026.
With junior golf gaining momentum in India, events like the US Kids Golf Indian Championship 2025 are helping shape the next generation of golfers and putting Manesar on the map as a hub for competitive youth golf.
