The Series will kick off at Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting & Golf Club from April 12-14, 2024 with a practice round on 11th April.
John Laroche, CEO and Founder of the Junior Asian Golf Academy commented, “JAGA would like to thank the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation and Emirates Golf Federation for partnering with JAGA and understanding our vision.
“As junior golf continues to rapidly develop in the region we feel that it is important to provide players with the platform to compete and gain exposure for the next level," he added. "We would also like to thank Optimas for their generous support with the International Series which will be a springboard for these student-athletes."
General Abdullah Alhashmi, Emirates Golf Federation Vice-Chairman remarked: “We at the Emirates Golf Federation look forward to working alongside JAGA and the different opportunities that they provide for the region.
