Welcome to the "105th Western Junior Championship"

The Western Junior, the oldest national junior tournament in the United States, draws the top junior players from more than 40 states and internationally each year. The event has long been a testing ground for stars of the future, including current PGA TOUR stars Tiger Woods, Collin Morikawa, and Rickie Fowler, and veterans Fred Couples, Jim Furyk, Craig Stadler and Corey Pavin.

Midlothian Country Club holds a special place in the history of the Western Golf Association and golf in America. One of the founding clubs of the WGA in 1899, Midlothian was one of the country’s first 18-hole golf courses. In its early days, it was one of the only golf clubs in the world to own its own railroad, which it used to ferry members the three miles between the club and Chicago.

The Herbert J. Tweedie design has hosted a number of prestigious professional and amateur events. Billy Casper won the 1969 and 1973 Western Opens at Midlothian, and Walter Hagen captured the 1914 U.S. Open. The club also hosted the 1901 Western Open and the 1901 and 1917 Western Amateurs. This will be Midlothian’s third Western Junior championship.
