Young golf talents will get their shot at international glory as Hann Reserve hosts the inaugural Junior PGA Championships Philippines on December 7–9, 2026, offering a pathway to the prestigious 2027 Junior PGA Championships in Ohio, United States.
The landmark tournament, organized through Hann Reserve’s partnership with the PGA of America, will bring together top local and international junior golfers, with the overall Boys’ and Girls’ champions earning exemptions to the 2027 championship at NCR Country Club, subject to eligibility requirements.

“Beyond this historic first for the Philippines, we are excited to bring our partnership with the PGA of America to life as we prepare to open the PGA of America Performance Institute,” said Clément Rousseau, Hann Reserve Director of Golf.
He described the championship as an important milestone in showcasing Hann Reserve’s world-class facilities while inspiring the next generation of golfers.
