Visit Williamsburg will serve as title sponsor of an American Junior Golf Association tournament returning this year, officials announced recently.

The Visit Williamsburg Junior Championship will bring 78 top-ranked junior golfers from around the world to Ford’s Colony Country Club’s Marsh Hawk Course for a four-day event May 22-25, 2026. It marks the AJGA’s first tournament in Williamsburg since 2020. 

The three-year partnership establishes Williamsburg as host site through at least 2028. 

“The American Junior Golf Association represents the future of golf, and Williamsburg is honored to play a part in their journey,” said Edward Harris, CEO of Visit Williamsburg. “Our community has a deep appreciation for the sport and for events that inspire young athletes.” 

A qualifying round May 21 will give 78 additional golfers a chance to earn spots in the main field. The following day, community members can participate in a Junior-Am fundraising tournament to play alongside competitors while supporting AJGA charitable programs. 

Patrick Cansfield, AJGA director of business development, said the timing aligns with the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026. 

“Williamsburg’s rich history and deep sense of community make it a perfect setting to showcase the future of our game,” Cansfield said.
