Tiger Woods announced that a new junior golf tournament will be introduced at The Hay at Pebble Beach or The Links at Spanish Bay. This event is sure to be very successful and popular. TGR JR Invitational presented this year by TaylorMade will see 60 junior golfers compete over two days. TGR Live released a statement saying that the junior golfers will be from different backgrounds and will compete in a process that promotes the shared passions and Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association through providing unique exposure and opportunity to the game of golf. Woods stated, “I am thrilled to welcome a diverse group of young golfers at the TGR JR Invitational presented TaylorMade.” Woods, a Southern Californian who went to college in Northern California, is hosting the event at The Hay at Pebble Beach. He has since won a record 82 PGA TOUR tournaments. In 2000, he won two times at Pebble Beach. He also won the U.S. Open by 15 shots. The event will feature competitive golf at Pebble Beach in a fun and purposeful environment. There will be qualifying rounds on The Hay which Woods recently redesigned as a short course. Championship matches will take place at The Links at Spanish Bay. Woods was instrumental in the creation of the event to offer participants the opportunity to have the experience of their lives. TaylorMade Golf President and CEO David Abeles stated that the TGR JR Invitational presented to TaylorMade Golf is an excellent opportunity to keep improving the game of golf. “We are proud that we partner with TGR Live, the Pebble Beach Company, to provide this unforgettable experience for deserving young golfers.” Since 1957, the Peter Hay Golf Course has been a part of Pebble Beach. It was established by Peter Hay, who, as the Head Professional of Pebble Beach Golf Links, and Del Monte Golf Courses, and revolutionized the idea of a short course. Woods redesigned the course to make it more appealing in 2021. It is a fun course that offers endless entertainment, with a exact replica of the famous No. 7, at Pebble Beach Golf Links. There are also holes that can be played with any golf club, including the famous No. 7. David Stivers (Pebble Beach Company President and CEO) said, “Tiger has a long history with Pebble Beach. We are thrilled to expand it through the TGR JR Invitational.” The Hay was created by Tiger Golf Resorts and Pebble Beach Company. This event, with the support of our long-time partners at TaylorMade, will further our mission by providing young golfers an experience that will last a lifetime.” Applications are currently being accepted through August 21, 2022 at TGRJRInvitational.com.
