Orlando, FL – The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) is proud to announce that Srixon has renewed its partnership for the 2026 season, marking the third consecutive year the brand will serve as the Official Golf Ball of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour.
As one of the most recognized names in performance golf equipment, Srixon will once again be featured at hundreds of HJGT tournaments across the United States, directly impacting tens of thousands of junior golf families throughout the season.
Through this extended partnership, Srixon will continue to receive category exclusivity as the Official Golf Ball of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. The brand will maintain prominent website branding with linked logo placement on the HJGT official partners page and individual event registration pages. Digital exposure will include one monthly newsletter feature and quarterly dedicated email campaigns distributed to the HJGT national database.
Srixon will also maintain a strong on-site presence at the year-end National Championship Weekend in Orlando, with tent activation, signage, product displays, and direct engagement opportunities with families and players. Additionally, Srixon will hold naming rights at up to two premium HJGT events, providing enhanced visibility and direct access to junior golfers and parents in key markets.
For players, the impact is immediate and tangible. Junior golfers nationwide will receive complimentary Srixon Z-STAR golf balls at HJGT tournaments throughout the season, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to performance and player development. Active HJGT members will also receive 35% off Cleveland and Srixon retail golf balls and equipment, creating meaningful value for families investing in their child’s competitive journey.
“We’re thrilled to renew our partnership with the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour as the Official Golf Ball Sponsor,” said Mike Powell, COO and President. “At Srixon, we believe the future of the game depends on investing in the next generation of golfers. Supporting junior players as they develop their skills, confidence, and competitive experience is incredibly important to us. HJGT provides an outstanding platform for young athletes to grow, and we’re excited to play a role in their journey."
Rex Grayner, SVP of Business Development for the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, emphasized the alignment between the two organizations.
“Srixon understands that partnerships in youth sports must be about more than visibility,” said Grayner. “They’ve consistently shown a commitment to supporting junior golfers in a meaningful way. From providing premium golf balls at events to offering substantial equipment discounts to our members, this partnership delivers real value to families across the country. We’re excited to continue building on that momentum in 2026.”
The renewed agreement further strengthens HJGT’s partner ecosystem by aligning elite brands with the developmental pathway of junior golfers striving for collegiate and professional success.
