Rolex And The American Junior Golf Association

Since 1983, Rolex Watch USA has been a premier partner of the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), considered the preeminent junior golf organization in the US.  This relationship will continue on strong through 2008.

Rolex's involvement in the AJGA (http://www.ajga.org/) is extensive.  The renowned watch brand is the title sponsor for the Tournament of Champions and the Girls Junior Championship events.  It also sponsors the Rolex Junior All-America Teams, AJGA Rolex Players of the Year, and the Rolex Junior All-America Awards Banquet.  Additionally, the AJGA's ACE Grant Program, which allocates funds for young golfers to compete outside of their home location, was established with Rolex's direct corporate support.

The distinguished list of professional golfers who were AJGA members include such luminaries as Phil Mickelson, Lorena Ochoa, and Charles Howell III.
