Entry into the event is by invitation only, but players may request special invitations in order to gain entry. In January, players ranked in the top 200 of Golfweek/Sagarin will receive invitations via email — any player who does not receive an invitation should contact Carlton Reese via email at creese@golfweek.usatoday.com.
The Golfweek West Coast Junior Invitational annually assembles one of the top 50 fields in junior golf and is played on an iconic private country club course.
Winners of the Golfweek West Coast Junior Invitational earn an automatic invitation to compete in the prestigious Golfweek International Junior Invitational played Nov. 2-3 in central Florida.
