Is there any way to request to be in the combined 15/18 pool? Having a son in each division, that would make at least the first couple of days a lot easier.

You have to register and make payment, there are no walkups.

Typographical error. But might wanna fix ... the split MJ field has mj14 listed.... :)
Aaron Waggoner April 5, 2023 at 3:57pm
I reached out to Nate asking whether this would be ok to do and did not receive a response, so I'm putting this out there. Please, if I am not allowed to do this, someone let me know. I am a professional photographer/videographer and we will be at Jr. Worlds to support our son Ty who will be playing in the MJ12 division. I had the father of another junior ask if I'd be available to take some action shots of his son while we are there, and then that got me wondering if maybe some other ... more

does anyone know how many drops there were for mj15 last year?
Andrew Sweeton
April 5, 2023 at 3:46pm
Near as I can tell. about 15 prior to the waitlist being refunded. Of course this year could be more, could be less.
Andrew Sweeton
April 5, 2023 at 5:28pm
No, but probably a very similar percentage as it was also 72 spots.
Roderic Maianu April 5, 2023 at 3:35pm
I don't think I'll get in
Jessica Cowen April 4, 2023 at 7:30pm
Is this going to be implemented? https://www.pdga.com/policy/identity-verification Should we bring birth certificates or is there a way to verify identity before the tournament?

I’d pack a copy of your child’s birth certificate since that is the last acceptable document listed on their policy page: https://www.pdga.com/policy/identity-verification

You can email a scan of your child's birth certificate to [email redacted]

My son needs a doubles parent as well. Someone want to text me? 770-265-2415 Mj12
Roderic Maianu April 4, 2023 at 3:36am
why does mj18 have more spots than mj15?
John Ryan
April 4, 2023 at 5:27am
In most of the previous years it’s alway been capped at 72 people for each division. First year it’s been more in like forever. I do also believe that MJ18 has almost twice as many invites compared to MJ15. Huge debacle last year with a few top rated kids not getting in, hence tier 1 inv ... more

Hi Roderic. There are two primary reasons MJ18 has more spots than 15s. First, anyone who is eligible to play 15 is also eligible for 18 while the opposite is not the case. Secondly, there are 1013 MJ18 invitees compared to 499 for MJ15.

when will the registration close?

Robert Leonard April 3, 2023 at 9:25pm
We completed Doubles registration today. The list is at: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/69628
If you are not on the list, you or your partner is on the singles waitlist (you must be a singles competitor to play doubles) OR you received an email to the email you signed up with for the tournament from me today explaining the issue.
Please let me know if you have questions!
Giovanni Lizama Robert Leonard

Yes, all groupings will be random for the first round as dictated in the competition manual.
Isaiah Vanaman April 3, 2023 at 11:32am
When does Kennel Lake open for practice rounds?
Nate Heinold
April 3, 2023 at 1:24pm
That information will be emailed out closer to the event, including the facility rules. Players are not allowed to practice the course at this time.
Jason B
April 3, 2023 at 2:57pm
Thanks. Are there any junior courses in use by the adults as well? I didn’t see any on the draft schedule (other than Northwood blue), but I recall last year we couldn’t practice Kennel Lake until late in the day because of an adult round.
Nate Heinold
April 3, 2023 at 3:04pm
The course schedule is available now for review. It is a draft schedule.
Roderic Maianu April 1, 2023 at 3:52pm
when will the field events be?
Todd Lion
April 1, 2023 at 4:45pm
Field events will be on Sunday June 25. You can see the full schedule at: https://www.pdga.com/2023juniorworlds/2023-junior-worlds-course-schedule
Roderic Maianu April 1, 2023 at 3:46pm
Is there any chance that more spots will open up in mj15?
Todd Lion
April 1, 2023 at 4:50pm
I cannot make any promises one way or another when it comes to waitlist movement. But there's always waitlist movement. There's reason to be optimistic.
Chris Fischer April 1, 2023 at 3:50am
How many on the waitlist ended up playing last year in the 18u?
Chris Fischer
April 1, 2023 at 5:18pm
Ok. Will they be expanding the field if other age groups don't fill up?
Chris Fischer
April 1, 2023 at 7:17pm
Also, if by chance I am already there and somebody doesn't show up, would I be able to take that spot?
Andrew Sweeton
April 1, 2023 at 8:28pm
No, it's a full course pool plus part of a pool with MJ15 and MJ15 also has a waitlist. No, sorry, we don't fill spots on the day of, the waitlist is released and refunded on June 24th, there are no replacements thereafter.
Jimi gosinski April 1, 2023 at 2:26am
How can you sign up for doubles?
Andrew Sweeton
April 1, 2023 at 12:59pm
It is on the registration form when you sign up for singles.
Aubrey Terry April 1, 2023 at 12:58am
Anyone looking to partner up for FJ15 doubles, please let me know.
Rich Fletcher
April 5, 2023 at 1:00am
Eden (Fletcher) would love to partner up. If you're still interested, feel free to email me, (address is my first and last name at gmail) and I'll get your addresses to each other.

If there is 120 mj18 players how can everyone shotgun start at the same time on one course?
Mason Pierce Hayden carroll
April 1, 2023 at 7:17pm
Then what does it mean when it says mj18 and mj15 shuffle after the 3rd round?
Andrew Sweeton
April 1, 2023 at 8:31pm
It means after 3 rounds when all the MJ18 and MJ15 players have played identical courses, the pools are reshuffled. So then the 72 best MJ18 scores will be in D Pool with the 48 worst MJ18 scores in E Pool.
Brian Schoffstall March 31, 2023 at 9:20pm
My son is looking for an MJ12 doubles partner. Let me know if you have any interest. Thanks!
Gloria Anderson
April 9, 2023 at 10:33pm
Any chance your son still needs a doubles partner? Mine is MJ12 and has a spot but needs a partner.
Hayden carroll March 31, 2023 at 2:26pm
Are the rounds shotgun start for mj18 or do we have different tee times?
Andrew Sweeton
March 31, 2023 at 3:11pm
Shotgun, see the course schedule here: https://www.pdga.com/2023juniorworlds/2023-junior-worlds-course-schedule
Izaac Bridgman March 31, 2023 at 4:21am
If I’m getting on the waitlist do I have to pay the 150 now?
Micah Hicks Andrew Sweeton
March 31, 2023 at 3:10pm
I don't think so, there is already a full course pool plus a partial course pool for MJ18.
Sorry, but the pools are assigned strictly by player rating, so only if they are both not in the top 72 by rating for their division will they end up together in the E pool.
Verifying this....If my MJ18 is in the top 72 he would play in Pool D, and my MJ15 is the top 72 he will play in Pool F, correct? And will the pools not be finalized until the week of the event, based on June rating?
Correct, that scenario would result in them being in Pools D and F. The pools will be assigned and posted on June 20th based on the June Ratings update.
