Golf Channel’s Morning Drive to Broadcast Live From Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship

Morning Drive will have three live hits from the tournament each morning, spotlighting the Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship and Myrtle Beach, the game’s most popular destination. 

The 54-hole, college style tournament will be played February 24-26. The field will feature 104 players – 72 boys, 32 girls – with golfers from 19 states and five countries.

Eight of the top 10 junior boys and 11 of the top 12 junior girls in South Carolina have committed to play in the tournament. Twenty participants have signed National Letters of Intent to play collegiate golf this fall.

With the support of Johnson, who secured the No. 1 spot in the World Golf Rankings with his win at Riviera Country Club on Sunday, the tournament will provide participants a PGA Tour-like experience, and the chance to challenge themselves against their peers from others parts of America and the world. 

The Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship is being sponsored by Founders Group International, the Dustin Johnson Golf School, and Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. 

Johnson’s involvement with the tournament reflects his long-time commitment to junior golf, particularly in South Carolina, where he grew into one of the world’s best players. Through the Dustin Johnson Foundation, which is headquartered in Myrtle Beach, Johnson has donated more than $250,000 to junior golf, sponsoring numerous events throughout the state and helping cover entry costs for kids who need financial assistance.
