NB3 Foundation is proud to host the annual Native Youth Golf Championship, July 19–21 at Santa Ana Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. Now in its seventh year, the championship continues to grow as a premier opportunity for Native youth golfers to compete, connect and take the next step in their golf journey.
More than just a tournament, the Native Youth Golf Championship is family-centered event where young athletes ages 10–18 can showcase their skills while building confidence, friendships and exposure to future opportunities in the game. The event reflects NB3 Foundation’s ongoing commitment to expanding access and removing barriers so Native youth can thrive in sport and in life.
Since the championship began, a number of young golfers who have competed in the event have gone on to play collegiate golf or pursue careers in the sport. While the tournament is just one step in each athlete’s journey, it provides exposure and opportunities for youth and families to build connections that can help shape their paths after high school.
The championship kicks off July 19 with player check-in, a welcome lunch, skills competitions and resource fair. This opening day gives youth and families time to connect with peers, meet college representatives and community partners, and prepare for competition.
Championship rounds will take place July 20–21, with players competing in the following age divisions for both girls and boys: 10–11; 12–13; 14–15; 16–18.
Awards will be presented following the completion of play on July 21. Awards will be awarded to first, second and third-place finishers. Champions of each division will advance to the NB3 Junior National Golf Championship in Kinder, La.
As participation continues to grow, so does the need to ensure cost is never a barrier for Native youth who want to compete. Scholarships are available to support families, and we are actively seeking sponsors and partners to help enhance the overall experience.
Sponsorship support helps:
-
Expand scholarship access for Native youth
-
Enhance player and family experiences
-
Support high-quality competition and event programming
With additional support, the championship can continue reaching more communities and opening more doors for youth across Indian Country.
Early registration is encouraged to secure the discounted rate. Families interested in participating or learning more about scholarship opportunities are encouraged to visit the event page .
