USGA Unveils 2025 National Junior Team and Elite Amateur Program Rosters
The USGA has announced its 2025 rosters for the U.S. National Junior Team and Elite Amateur Program as part of its National Development Program (USNDP). The program aims to identify and support promising young American golfers regardless of their background.
The 2025 U.S. National Junior Team includes 22 players (11 boys and 11 girls), with 14 returning members and 8 new additions. The Elite Amateur Program, making its debut, will provide additional support to college-level players.
"We've seen exceptional growth over the past year," said USNDP head coach Chris Zambri. "The launch of the Elite Amateur Program represents another significant step in nurturing top talent and preparing them for success."
The USGA is also providing $795,000 in grant funding to 100 golfers across 31 states to help cover development-related expenses.
