The American Junior Golf Association and the United States Golf Association (USGA) are pleased to announce the 2025 Honorable Mentions for the USGA-AJGA Presidents’ Leadership Award.
These juniors have displayed dedication to working hard both on and off the golf course. Their diligent efforts have made an impact on their communities, and we want to recognize them for their hard work.
The USGA-AJGA Presidents' Leadership Award was created to recognize one male and one female junior golfer who demonstrate leadership, character and community service through their involvement with the Leadership Links program – a joint initiative founded by the USGA and AJGA in 2005 to further develop junior golfers through volunteerism and philanthropy.
