India's competitive pathway for young male golfers — from category-level competition to national championships.
The IGU Junior Boys Tour is structured across three age-based categories — A, B, and C — providing a progressive competitive pathway that matches the developmental stage of each young golfer. From introductory events to national championships, the tour builds the skills, experience, and resilience needed to compete at the highest levels.
Each category features its own schedule of regional and national events, with results contributing to category-specific order of merit standings. Top performers in Category A are considered for international selection, including the World Amateur Team Championship, Asian Amateur Championship, and other global junior events.
Three tiers of competition designed for progressive development.
National and international selection events. The highest level of junior boys' competition, featuring WAGR-ranked tournaments and selection trials for international team representation. Players compete for places on India's teams at the World Amateur and Asian Amateur Championships.
Regional and national championships. A competitive tier focused on building tournament experience and course management skills. Category B events are held across all four zones, culminating in a national championship for the top Under-15 golfers in India.
Introductory competitive golf. Designed as the entry point into IGU-sanctioned competition, Category C events emphasise participation, skill development, and sportsmanship. Events are held in a supportive competitive environment to encourage long-term engagement with the sport.
