HJGT, Fore All Junior Golf Foundation launch inaugural Match Play Challenge at The Club at Ibis

West Palm Beach, FL — The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT), the nation’s premier multi-day junior golf tour, is proud to announce a new partnership with the Fore All Junior Golf Foundation, a nonprofit committed to empowering young golfers through access, education, and opportunity. Together, the two organizations will host the inaugural Fore All Junior Golf Foundation Match Play Challenge, scheduled for August 9–10, 2025, at the renowned Club at Ibis in West Palm Beach, Florida.

This unique, invitation-only event will showcase a 24 vs. 24 team format, featuring elite junior golfers (boys and girls, ages 10–18) from across the country. Teams will be selected by HJGT and the Fore All Junior Golf Foundation based on performance, character, and overall contributions to the game.

The Match Play Challenge will consist of four sessions of competitive match play using both 9-hole and 18-hole formats, testing players’ skills, strategy, and teamwork in a spirited team setting. The weekend will kick off with a Pairings Party and Dinner on Friday, August 8, bringing together players, families, sponsors, and staff for an evening of celebration and camaraderie.

Fore All Junior Golf Foundation was founded by Carson Lowe and Nicholas Zaccagnino, junior golfers from South Florida with a desire to ensure that more kids, especially those from underrepresented communities, have a chance to grow together through golf. 

"This Match Play Challenge is a perfect example of our mission in action. We’re honored to partner with the HJGT to bring this meaningful and memorable experience to life,” said Nicholas Zaccagnino. 

The Club at Ibis, with its world-class facilities and three Nicklaus-designed golf courses, provides the ideal setting for this elite competition. 

"Fore All has hosted events on both US coasts bringing junior golfers together for team competition and we are thrilled that Ibis, my home course, recognizes the value of these experiences," said Carson Lowe.

Players will receive custom team gear, gifts, and full event hospitality. 

“This event reflects the best of what junior golf can be – competitive, inclusive, and inspiring,” said Rex Grayner, SVP of Business Development at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. “We’re excited to join forces with Fore All to create an unforgettable team experience at one of Florida’s premier venues. It’s more than a tournament. It’s a celebration of what’s possible when great organizations come together for the kids.”

Sponsorship opportunities, media coverage details, and team rosters will be announced in the coming weeks. For more information, please visit the event registration page.
