Can the event help me with my travel arrangements?
Do I have to register in person at Torrey Pines during designated registration hours?
Yes. Even though you already registered online, we need you to check in at Torrey Pines (11480 N Torrey Pines Rd, La Jolla, CA) to confirm that you are in town and ready to play. Travel delays are inevitable, so this gives the Tournament Committee the ability to invite another player from the waiting list if necessary.
Do I have to come both Saturday and Sunday?
No. You can pick the day that works best for you. Typically, Saturday is a lighter registration day, as many players plan to register on Sunday afternoon and stay for the Opening Ceremony.
Do I have to register for the IMG Academy Junior World Putting Championship?
No. As a registered golfer, you are already eligible to participate in the putting tournament. Simply head to the putting green after you participate and enjoy! Remember, each player is only given one attempt.
Are caddies permitted during the tournament?
Only 10-Under Division players are permitted to have a caddie during the tournament.
Players in all divisions may use the support of a caddie during the official practice round.
Are spectators permitted during the tournament?
Yes. Spectators are permitted at all golf courses.
When will we receive the pairings for the tournament?
The pairings for the first two rounds of the tournament will be posted HERE at 9 am Saturday before the tournament. Each player will receive a copy of the pairings when they register Saturday or Sunday at Torrey Pines.
What is the "Pin Exchange" ?
The Pin Exchange is a little something fun for the players to do during registration weekend and at the end of their tournament rounds. Players bring small lapel pins that represent their home country, state ,or city and exchange them with the other players they meet.
Participating in the Pin Exchange is not mandatory, but the players typically enjoy the cultural exchange – especially the younger players. We recommend bringing 10 to 20 pins if you are interested in participating.
