The 3rd Annual AJGA Sacramento Junior Championship, presented by the Morton Golf Foundation, took place April 2–5, 2026, and was a tremendous success.

This year’s event welcomed 96 junior golfers from around the world, all competing at a high level while representing the future of the game. The American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), a nonprofit dedicated to developing the next generation of golfers, shares a mission closely aligned with the Morton Golf Foundation, growing the game and helping junior players reach the next level, including opportunities for college scholarships.

Hosting an event of this scale requires an incredible team effort. The tournament was supported by eleven AJGA staff members and more than 80 dedicated Morton Golf volunteers. Many volunteers generously gave their time across multiple shifts, demonstrating their passion and commitment to both the sport and the Sacramento community.

Throughout the week, players, staff, and volunteers were united by a shared love of golf and a spirit of giving back. The energy and enthusiasm surrounding the event made it a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.

We are proud to partner with the AJGA and look forward to continuing this tradition. Join us next year for the 4th Annual AJGA Sacramento Junior Championship, scheduled for March 25–28, 2027.

We hope to see you there!

First Annual Sacramento Junior Championship Presented by Morton Golf Foundation

The first annual Sacramento Junior Championship was held at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex on March 28 – 31, 2024.

In the fall of 2023, two members of the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) came to Haggin Oaks to discuss with Morton Golf Foundation thoughts about hosting an AJGA junior tournament at Haggin Oaks.

Morton Golf Foundation had the vision of knowing they wanted to allow junior golfers to participate in the best competition at the most prestigious junior tour in the United States right here in Sacramento. This allowed several junior golfers in Northern California to sleep in their own bed and compete on a golf course they had competed on before. The seed was planted, and a five-year commitment contract was signed.

The first annual AJGA tournament was held at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex on the MacKenzie Golf Course on March 28 – 31, 2024. The field featured 96 juniors, ages 12-18, with a mixture of boys and girls. The excitement was overwhelming as the junior players anticipated that this tour would have college coaches looking at the players in the hope of offering college scholarships.

AJGA tournaments are played all around the United States. The AJGA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women players. The mission of the AJGA Foundation mirrors the mission of Morton Golf Foundation. When AJGA staff stepped onto the property of Haggin Oaks and began working with the Morton Golf staff it was seamless in providing a first-class event.

We are all excited for the future AJGA events at Haggin Oaks as we continue to give junior golfers their opportunity to shine.
