Each year, the American Junior Golf Association recognizes tournament committees and individuals who produce outstanding work during the previous AJGA season in 14 categories including Preview, Junior All-Star, Open and Newcomer of the Year. Awards distinguish the effort of the AJGA's many supporters who make each quality tournament experience possible for over 10,000 members.
