100PLUS MGA NJDP Junior Series Set To Serve As Launchpad For Young Golfers
SERDANG, June 24 (Bernama) -- The newly-launched 100PLUS Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) National Junior Development Programme (NJDP) Junior Series 2026 is set to become a key launchpad for the country’s rising young golfers.
MGA president Tan Sri Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor said the series would serve as a qualifying platform for the Malaysian Junior International Open (MIJO) in November, with 30 slots to be offered based on players’ performances.
He said the initiative marked an important step in strengthening junior golf development in the country by providing young players with a more structured and competitive platform.
“The 100PLUS MGA NJDP Junior Series will become one of the most important competitive platforms for junior golfers in the country,” he said at the launch of the series at The Mines Resort & Golf Club here today.
Mohd Anwar also expressed his gratitude to 100PLUS for its continuous support and collaboration with MGA in developing young talent and promoting a healthy sporting lifestyle.
Meanwhile, F&N Holdings Bhd director of Government and Industry Engagement Norazrin Norsyam Yee said the collaboration was in line with the shared vision of 100PLUS and MGA to develop junior golfers and produce future champions.
Norazrin said 100PLUS believes in the importance of junior development programmes and hopes that young golfers nationwide will seize the opportunity to compete in the new series.
MGA NJDP chairman Fauzi Mesran said the organisers are targeting 120 participants for the inaugural edition of the series.
Open to players under the age of 18, the series will feature three qualifying rounds followed by a Grand Final.
The three qualifying rounds will be staged at Kinrara Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur from July 20-23; Permaipura Golf and Country Club in Sungai Petani, Kedah (Aug 10-13); and A’Famosa Golf Resort, Melaka (Sept 7-10); while the Grand Final will be held at The Mines Resort & Golf Club from Oct 6-9.
