Braselton, GA – The American Junior Golf Association is proud to announce a contract extension with the ‘Official Headwear of the AJGA’, Imperial. The Official Partnership, now in its third year, will continue through 2026.

Imperial is extremely proud to extend our partnership with the AJGA and remain the 'Official Headwear of the AJGA' through 2026.
