Notes:
The Polo Golf Junior Classic was played from 1978 to 2016 as two rounds of stroke play to determine seeding for bracket play. The top 32 scorers were bracketed into single-elimination match play.
* In 2017 & 2018, the Polo Golf Junior Classic was played as a 72-hole stroke play event. (Match play format resumed in 2019.)
This event was canceled in 2020 (COVID-19).
