The American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with ICL Academy, the leader in online education for elite student-athletes. As the “Proud Online Academy” of the AJGA, ICL Academy is committed to providing junior golfers with a world-class, flexible academic experience that supports their passion for the sport.
This new agreement builds upon the existing partnership that began in 2023, further expanding ICL Academy’s role within the AJGA. As part of this partnership, ICL Academy will serve as the presenting partner at five AJGA events annually, beginning in 2025. These events will take place at top courses across the country, providing junior golfers with competitive opportunities and national exposure. The partnership will further integrate ICL Academy into the AJGA’s programming, reinforcing a shared commitment to supporting student-athletes in both their academic and athletic pursuits.
“ICL Academy is thrilled to expand our partnership with the American Junior Golf Association as their preferred education partner. This collaboration represents a tremendous opportunity to provide elite junior golfers with a truly customized academic experience—one that is as flexible and high-performing as they are. At ICL, we recognize the unique challenges student-athletes face, and our world-class curriculum is designed to seamlessly integrate with their training, travel, and tournament schedules. Together with the AJGA, we are ensuring that aspiring collegiate and professional golfers don’t have to choose between academic excellence and athletic success—they can achieve both at the highest level."
"At the AJGA, our mission is to support the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. Partnering with ICL Academy allows us to expand that mission beyond the course by providing junior golfers with a flexible, world-class education that fits their training and competition schedules. This collaboration ensures that our student-athletes can excel academically while pursuing their dreams in golf, preparing them for success at the collegiate level and beyond.”
The AJGA and ICL Academy will collaborate on a comprehensive digital engagement campaign to highlight the academy’s role in supporting junior golfers. This campaign will include social media promotions, a dedicated website series featuring AJGA players and their charitable work through Leadership Links, and the promotion of ACT/SAT prep-focused content to help junior golfers excel academically. The AJGA will also promote ICL Academy’s live webinars to AJGA members and host interactive social media giveaways throughout the year.
ICL Academy will be integrated into AJGA event branding, including on-site signage, sponsorship recognition on the AJGA website, and promotional offers for AJGA members. As part of this initiative, ICL Academy will offer AJGA members a 10% tuition discount, further enhancing the value of this partnership. Additionally, ICL Academy will provide scholarships and a platform to highlight AJGA players and charitable giving through the Leadership Links Program.
