New International Team Championship Will Bring Junior Golfers From Around the World to Southern California to Represent Their Countries
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Future Champions Golf (FCG) today announced the launch of the FCG Global Golf Games, a new international team golf championship that will bring junior golfers from around the world together to represent their countries in Southern California.
The inaugural FCG Global Golf Games will be held July 26–29, 2027, at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort, creating a new international competition centered on national pride, team golf, cultural exchange, and the continued growth of the global junior golf community.
The championship represents an important expansion of FCG’s international platform and will provide junior golfers with a unique opportunity to compete not only as individuals, but as members of teams representing their respective countries.
“The Global Golf Games is something we have envisioned for a long time,” said Chris Smeal, Founder and President of Future Champions Golf. “FCG has spent more than two decades creating opportunities for junior golfers from around the world to compete together. This event takes that mission another step forward by giving players the opportunity to represent their country, compete alongside teammates, and build relationships with golfers from around the world.”
A NEW INTERNATIONAL TEAM GOLF EXPERIENCE
The FCG Global Golf Games will combine championship competition with the atmosphere and pride of international team golf.
Players will compete alongside teammates representing their countries while facing teams from across the world. The event will include championship competition as well as opening festivities and international experiences designed to bring players and families together throughout the week.
The goal is to create an event that extends beyond the traditional junior golf tournament — one where players compete at a high level while also experiencing the camaraderie, responsibility, and pride that comes with representing their country.
Play for your country. Compete with the world.
BUILDING ON FCG’S GLOBAL NETWORK
The launch of the Global Golf Games comes as Future Champions Golf continues to expand its international footprint through relationships with junior golf organizations, tournament operators, academies, coaches, and qualifying partners around the world.
Those relationships have created pathways for international players to compete in FCG championships in the United States and have helped establish an increasingly connected global junior golf community.
The Global Golf Games will bring many of those relationships together through one international team championship.
FCG expects participation from countries across multiple regions of the world, with additional national teams and international partners to be announced leading into the inaugural event.
THE ROAD TO THE 2027 GLOBAL GOLF GAMES
Qualification for the FCG Global Golf Games will take place through designated pathways in the United States and internationally.
FCG plans to establish a qualifying structure for Team USA, giving junior golfers from across the country opportunities to compete for positions on the American team.
International teams will be assembled through FCG’s network of partners and qualifying organizations, creating opportunities for players around the world to earn the honor of representing their countries.
Complete details regarding participating countries, team sizes, age divisions, qualification procedures, competition format, and championship schedule will be announced as qualification begins.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO HOST THE INAUGURAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The first FCG Global Golf Games will be contested at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort, providing a championship venue and destination setting for players and families traveling from around the world.
Southern California has played an important role in FCG’s history and has welcomed thousands of international junior golfers through FCG championships over the past two decades.
The Global Golf Games will build upon that tradition by bringing national teams together for four days of competition and international camaraderie.
MORE THAN A CHAMPIONSHIP
While competition will remain at the center of the event, the larger vision for the FCG Global Golf Games is to use golf to connect young players from different countries and cultures.
Players will have the opportunity to represent their nations, compete as teammates, meet golfers from around the world, and develop friendships that extend beyond the championship.
“Golf has an incredible ability to bring people together,” Smeal added. “We want the Global Golf Games to become an event junior golfers around the world aspire to qualify for — and an experience they remember for the rest of their lives.”
The inaugural FCG Global Golf Games will be held July 26–29, 2027, at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort in Southern California.
Additional announcements regarding participating countries, Team USA qualification, international qualifying pathways, and championship details will be released in the coming months.
