MJT MAJOR QUALIFIERS AND INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
(These qualifiers and opportunities are for members only)
The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour has a mandate to expose players to top competition for gaining experience and building great playing resumes. Since 1999 we have qualified players for many major national and international junior tournaments and provided financial assistance for expenses.
Since 2006, TuGo, one of Canada's leading providers of travel and health insurance products and services, has been designated the Official International Travel Partner of the MJT. Support includes outfitting junior golfers attending international events through the MJT, and providing optional assistance with travel insurance and travel planning.
IMPORTANT: Due to the nature of international events, amendments may occur and qualifiers may change without notice.
NOTE: TIE BREAKER FORMAT: In the event of a tie for an international exemption, the tie breaker will be a combination of Best 3 MJT Order of Merit Finishes and Scoring Average to determine the recipient.
The MJT International Players Series was introduced in 2015 to offer MJT members the opportunity to qualify and compete at a higher level against provincially and nationally ranked players. These major junior opportunities for MJT members will help get players recognized by college coaches in both the United States and Canada.

Junior America's Cup - Team BC
Genoa Lakes GC
Genoa, Nevada
July 26 - 30, 2020
Junior America's Cup Update from Executive Committee:
Junior America’s Cup Participants,
Unfortunately the Junior America’s Cup Executive Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Junior America’s Cup, in Reno, Nevada at Genoa Lakes Golf Club. After closely monitoring the COVID-19 developments, ultimately the travel restrictions, and the priority of the safety and health of all involved, including the players, captains, volunteers and host committee, we feel the best decision is to cancel the event this year.
With the 2021 dates and site secured and a lot of preparation already underway, next year the championship will be played at the Powder Horn Golf Club, in Sheridan Wyoming, hosted by the Wyoming State Golf Association, July 25-29, 2021.
We look forward to seeing everyone next summer, and wish you a successful summer season, during these difficult times.
