VANCOUVER, British Columbia (MJT) — The Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT), Canada’s number one-played junior golf tour with over 70 events across the country and the ‘Road to College Golf’ in Canada, is pleased to announce increased sponsorship by existing Premier Partner and Official Ball Sponsor, TaylorMade Golf Canada, a golf industry leader in innovation, technology and performance golf equipment.
TaylorMade Golf Canada will add to their current major Sponsorship of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour with a series of three high-profile Junior Championship events in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, where junior golfers will not only receive the MJT Official Golf Ball tee gift of a dozen TaylorMade TP5 or TP5x, the same golf balls played by TaylorMade’s PGA Tour stars Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm, but also benefit from special TaylorMade prizing in seven age divisions, the most of any junior program in the country.
TaylorMade’s fantastic sponsorship already provides over 1,000 members of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour with TaylorMade Hats, as well as prizing to top finishers at every single Tour stop across the country. TaylorMade will also continue as Presenting Sponsor of the prestigious season-ending, invitation-only MJT Boston Pizza National Championship, to be held in 2018 at The Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, AZ, November 8 to 11 and as Co-Presenting Sponsor of the MJT annual fundraiser at Predator Ridge Golf Resort in Vernon, BC, June 19 to 20.
“We are delighted that TaylorMade Golf Canada has increased their support of the leading competitive multi-day Junior Tour in the country with a specific Tournament Series on top of their Official Ball and Prizing Sponsorship,” stated Trent Matson, National Tournament Operations Director of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. “Their support encourages and rewards aspiring young athletes by allowing Canada's competitive junior golfers the chance to experience their first-class products.”
