TAMPA, Fla. – The Florida State Golf Association, in conjunction with the FSGA Foundation, is proud to announce the 40 junior golfers named to the 2024 Team Florida. These 40 players were chosen based on performance in FSGA and USGA championships, along with sportsmanship, etiquette, integrity and passion.
This year Team Florida welcomes 15 newcomers, while there are 25 juniors returning to the team.
Team Florida is an awards program that identifies the top junior golfers from around the state. These players have not only demonstrated exceptional playing ability in local, state and national competitions, but also display sportsmanship and etiquette.
Meet 2024 Team Florida
The FSGA and the FSGA Foundation recognizes the significant costs incurred by the families of junior golfers in perusing a competitive schedule. Families incur expenses for entry fees, transportation, lodging, meals and equipment that easily total into the thousands of dollars each year.
Team Florida members will receive financial assistance to help offset the costs associated with competing in junior golf. Members will receive up to $2,000 per year, along with additional financial assistance for players who qualify for USGA championships. The team is provided with additional opportunities to improve their game off of the golf course with services ranging from golf-centric personal training to data analytic services.
Forty (40) players, from 13 to 18 years of age will be selected each year. Players will come from each of the four FSGA age divisions but not necessarily in equal numbers, since some players transition from the younger division to the older division during the year. Members will be chosen based on performance in FSGA and USGA championships, along with sportsmanship, etiquette, integrity and passion. While selections to the team are made annually, juniors may be chosen in subsequent years.
The FSGA Foundation works to protect, preserve, and grow the great game of golf. The Foundation is focused on the development and advancement of our junior golfers, awarding college scholarships to golfers around the state and providing tournament assistance to junior golfers across Florida.
