Ex-PGA Tour Player Ewan Porter is launching a series of Junior events called the Junior 6s Series and will play the Adidas Junior 6s at Royal Wellington Golf Club early next year.

Juniors aged 18 and below will play the inaugural event from February 12, 2022, to February 14, 2022. The event is part of a series of Junior Golf events played across Australia and New Zealand, and Porter has plans to expand the series globally.

Players will play 54-holes with the top two boys and top two girls progressing to the 6s portion of the event. The boys will go head-to-head over six holes, and the girls follow suit. The two winners (one boy and one girl) will play to determine the champion and exemption into the World Final held at Kingston Heath.

The event is an official World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) event with points on offer in both the Stroke Play portion as well as the 6’s.

Eligible players must be 18 years or under on September 12, 2022, which is the date of the world final at Kingston Heath.  As per Golf New Zealand’s junior tournament playing conditions, golfers must also be 13 years of age or older.

Unfortunately, Porter is unable to attend the event due to COVID-19 restrictions. Golf New Zealand and Royal Wellington Golf Club are assisting in staging the event.
