Junior Day | AdventHealth Champ

Join us for the inaugural Junior Day at the AdventHealth Championship, a new signature community event designed to inspire the next generation through the game of golf.

Held on Sunday, August 16 at Blue Hills Country Club, Junior Day blends mentorship, instruction, and on-course play into one unforgettable experience. In partnership with Watson Links, the Kansas City–based nonprofit founded by golf legend Tom Watson, this event connects youth ages 7–18 with positive role models while teaching valuable life skills through the game.

Participants will enjoy a high-energy, supportive environment where they can build confidence, develop skills, and create lasting memories—both on and off the course. From clinic instruction to on-course play with golf mentors, Junior Day is designed to meet young golfers at every stage of their journey.

The day will include special appearances, swag, and a fun, social atmosphere—making it a can’t-miss experience during tournament week.
