All 50 states join USNDP junior golf program ahead of 2033 target

The United States National Development Program (USNDP) announced Tuesday that all 50 states have joined the USNDP State Junior Team Program, creating a nationwide player-development pathway for elite junior golfers years ahead of schedule. The program launched in 2024 with seven pilot states with the goal of expanding, strengthening and diversifying the pipeline of junior golfers ages 13-18. When Augusta National Golf Club and Masters Tournament Charities committed $1.5 million over three years to support the expansion of the State Junior Team component of the USNDP, the program received a major boost. The investment accelerated the growth of the program.
