Record Fifty-Eight Americans to Compete in British Junior Open

A record fifty-eight American juniors will compete in the 2025 British Junior Open, January 2-6, in Birmingham. Draws and live streaming information are now available on britishjunioropen.com.

The 2024 BJO marks Team USA’s twelfth annual trip to England as a team. The BJO is considered to be akin to the World Junior Championships with the world’s top players competing in all age divisions from U11 to U19, while the World Juniors fields just the U19 division.

Last year, Team USA produced a record sixteen quarterfinalists and three players recorded top three finishes. Two years ago, Team USA produced two champions in what was a historic first for the junior national team program.

“The BJO is an important part of our national team pipeline and gives our top American players the opportunity to test themselves at the highest level,” said Karim Ibrahim, Director of Junior National Teams. “Competing as such a high level for a junior can inspire them to raise their game, and can reinforce that they belong with the world’s best.”
