Junior Golf World Cup

The Junior Golf World Cup, founded by Yasumasa Tagashira, Eiji Tagashira and William Kerdyk, was first contested in 1992.{{cite web |title=Information |url=https://www.wjgtc.org/english/information/index.html |accessdate=3 May 2020 |publisher=Junior Golf World Cup}} A total of 98 golfers from 14 nations competed at Taisha Country Club in Izumo.

The United States won the inaugural title, with Justin Roof the first medalist. Both would retain their crowns a year later. Host Japan claimed its first title in 1994, with a team that included future PGA Tour professional Ryuji Imada.

In 1997, the tournament expanded from a three-day event to four days. A girls’ division was added in 2014.{{cite web |title=Junior Golf World Cup |url=http://collegiategolf.com/Junior-Golf-World-Cup/home.html |publisher=Collegiate Golf |accessdate=3 May 2020}}

The tournament format is 72 holes of stroke play over four days, with two scores from each nation’s three-player roster counting toward the team total. Before 2024, boys’ rosters were made up of four players, with three scores counting.

Continental/regional qualifiers are held each winter and spring to determine the 21 teams that go to Japan. In all, more than 70 countries participate in the qualifying process.

The Toyota Junior Golf World Cup has featured such future major champions as Hideki Matsuyama, Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Smith, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Trevor Immelman and Danny Willett. In 2001, South Africa won with a roster that included future major winners Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.{{cite news |last=Woodard |first=Adam |date=22 June 2019 |title=USA's Rose Zhang shares medalist honors, Japan and South Africa win Toyota Junior Golf World Cup |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2019/06/22/japan-south-africa-toyota-junior-golf-world-cup/ |accessdate=4 May 2020 |newspaper=USA Today}}

Viktor Hovland, who won the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup in 2023, played the Toyota Junior World Cup three times from 2014-16. Other participants that have won PGA Tour, European Tour or LIV Golf events include Joaquín Niemann, Camilo Villegas, Russell Henley, Hunter Mahan, Satoshi Kodaira, Branden Grace, Im Sung-jae, Brendon de Jonge, Alex Norén, Ludvig Åberg and David Puig.{{cite web |title=Archive |url=https://wjgtc.jp/archive/ |publisher=Junior Golf World Cup}}

The girls’ division saw its first major champion when Japan's Ayaka Furue won the 2024 Evian Championship. In addition, three alumnae won the Augusta National Women's Amateur in consecutive years — Tsubasa Kajitani, Anna Davis and Rose Zhang.

Zhang, Linnea Ström and Mone Inami are LPGA tour winners, while Saki Baba captured the 2022 U.S. Women's Amateur.

Of the 60 men's golfers entered at the 2024 Paris Olympics, 40 had played in the Junior Golf World Cup.
