NXXT Golf and IJGA Launch Elite College Pathway Series and Summer Camp for Junior Golfers

Co-Ed Tournament Series and Immersive Training Experience Designed to Prepare the Next Generation for Collegiate Success

Howey-in-the-Hills, FL – May 17, 2025 – NXXT Golf, renowned for its innovative approach to professional women’s golf, has partnered with the esteemed International Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) to launch the IJGA x NXXT College Pathway Series — a dynamic six-event summer tournament schedule combined with a high-performance training camp. Designed specifically to bridge the gap between junior and collegiate golf, the program offers an advanced, competitive, and comprehensive development platform for aspiring student-athletes.

The first five events of the series will be hosted at the prestigious Bishops Gate Golf Club, with the championship finale venue to be announced shortly. Concurrently, IJGA will deliver a six-week immersive summer camp that blends full-time elite training with live tournament competition, providing junior athletes with an integrated experience focused on performance, preparation, and visibility.

“This series is about giving junior players the structure, experience, and exposure needed to succeed at the next level,” said Stuart McKinnon, CEO of NXXT Golf. “Through competitive play, professional mentorship, and strategic guidance, we’re helping athletes not only elevate their game but also understand exactly what it takes to secure collegiate golf opportunities.”

A Modern Blueprint for Collegiate Golf Preparation

The IJGA x NXXT College Pathway Series represents a progressive alternative to traditional junior golf tours. Events are co-ed, with adjusted yardages to ensure fairness and a unified leaderboard — a format inspired by NXXT Golf’s successful Battle of the Sexes Series. This innovative structure authentically mirrors collegiate and elite amateur competitions, where athleticism, scoring ability, and mental resilience define success.

Key Tournament Features Include:

  • Six sanctioned tournaments integrated into IJGA’s summer schedule

  • Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) ranking points for 2-day events

  • WAGR recognition for 3-day events

  • National visibility to college coaches, recruiters, and golf performance professionals

  • Dedicated access to mental performance coaches supporting player mindset, focus, and resilience

  • Expert IJGA staff available to counsel athletes and families on scholarship strategies and collegiate recruitment

  • A 72-player final championship open to all junior golfers, with competitive opportunities and potential NXXT professional invitations at stake

  • Tournament fields are open to both IJGA summer camp participants and other junior golfers, with priority registration for IJGA campers

Integrated Summer Camp and Tournament Experience

The IJGA College Pathway Summer Camp, running parallel to the tournament series, offers a unique opportunity for junior athlete development. Camp participants benefit from:

  • Daily coaching and training led by nationally recognized instructors

  • Direct participation in all College Pathway Series tournaments

  • Workshops and on-course sessions featuring NCAA coaches, mental performance specialists, and college recruitment experts

  • Personalized development plans emphasizing competitive performance, mental game mastery, and collegiate recruitment readiness

“We’ve created this program specifically for junior golfers who are determined to be noticed, improve their skills, and fully grasp what it takes to compete at the collegiate level,” said Andrew Summers, CEO of IJGA. “This partnership delivers a uniquely powerful platform — blending world-class training, robust competition, and strategic college recruitment exposure in an unmatched environment.”
