Expanded Agreement Builds Upon Successful Coverage of the Donald Ross Junior Championship in 2025
NEW YORK, NY — Babygrande Golf and Pinehurst Resort today announced an expanded partnership surrounding live broadcast coverage of several of amateur golf’s most historic championships throughout 2026.
The expanded agreement builds upon the successful partnership between the two organizations during the 2025 season, which marked Babygrande Golf’s first live championship coverage from Pinehurst Resort.
As part of the 2026 partnership, Babygrande Golf will now provide live-stream coverage of four premier championships hosted at Pinehurst Resort:
- The 48th North & South Junior Amateur Championship
• The 126th North & South Men’s Amateur Championship
• The 124th North & South Women’s Amateur Championship
• The 79th Donald Ross Junior Championship
Coverage will include live competition broadcasts, player storytelling, highlights, and additional digital content distributed across Babygrande Golf platforms.
The North & South Championships represent some of the most respected and tradition-rich events in amateur golf and have historically featured many of the game’s top collegiate and amateur players.
“For us, this partnership is incredibly meaningful because Pinehurst represents such an important part of golf history,” said Patrick Plank, President of Babygrande Golf. “After working together during the Donald Ross Junior Championship last year, it became clear that both organizations shared a vision for how these events could be showcased and experienced by a broader audience. We’re excited to continue building on that momentum in 2026.”
Under the agreement, Babygrande Golf and Pinehurst will work collaboratively to expand the visibility and accessibility of these championships through live and post-produced digital coverage.
“We are excited to continue our relationship with Babygrande Golf as we expand coverage of the amateur championships we host at Pinehurst Resort,” said Andrea Ries, Director of Resort Championships. “Their ability to bring energy, storytelling, and modern digital coverage to these events has created a strong foundation, and we look forward to continuing to grow the audience for amateur golf together.”
Additional coverage details and broadcast schedules will be announced in advance of each championship.
