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.

Age and Birthday Qualifying Information

The MJT will qualify players directly to the FCG Callaway World Championship in the above-mentioned age divisions, however our players will compete for these spots in their correct MJT age divisions (as of August 31). If their respective qualifying spot is in a younger division, those affected will have their score adjusted by the rating differential to determine the qualified player.

For example, if a player is 13 years old and in the Bantam Division (based on MJT's static age of August 31st) but they are 12 based on FCG's age date of July 19, so competing for a 11-12 year old spot (Peewee division), the player’s score in the Bantam division will be adjusted by the differential between score and course rating to determine their qualifying score against those in the Peewee division.

NOTE: All players that compete in the MJT IMG Qualifiers are short-listed, not just the name mentioned in the Press Release. They are just the top rated players from that event but all who participate can earn the IMG exemption.

Playing Standard: All players, regardless of qualifying on the MJT, must meet the playing standards as set out by the IMG for our qualifiers to be exempt.

Age and Birthday Qualifying Information

The MJT will qualify short-list positions for the IMG Junior World Golf Championship in the above-mentioned age divisions, however our players will compete for these spots in their correct MJT age divisions (as of August 31). If their respective qualifying spot is in a younger division, those affected will have their score adjusted by the rating differential to determine the qualified player.

For example, if a player is 13 years old and in the Bantam Division (based on MJT's static age of August 31st) but they are 12 based on FCG's age date of July 18, so competing for a 11-12 year old spot (Peewee division), the player’s score in the Bantam division will be adjusted by the differential between score and course rating to determine their qualifying score against those in the Peewee division.

Differential Calculations (No Rating or Playing Up a Division)

The rating differential is determined by the total yardage difference / 20.7 which is the average distance on rated golf courses. Based on an average distance of golf courses and slopes, we have determined he following for our differential rating.

Example - Richmond Country Club

Boys 11-12 Tees: Gold (5073 yards) with a rating of 69.4

Boys 9-10 Tees: MJT Tees (4400 yards) with no rating

Based on the yardages on the website for Richmond CC, the 9-10 will play roughly 4400 and the 11-12 will play at 5073 yards = 673 yards total.

673 yards / 20.7 yards = 32.5 (x 0.10) points per 20.7 yards = 3.25 difference for players in Boys 11-12 who will play from the longer yardage. (They will deduct this number to get the Differential)

Players will not be playing down but they will play in the normal MJT Mini Tour division and once play is complete we will get a differential for each age division which will determine the qualifying spot.
