The Mack Champ Invitational is introducing significant changes in 2023 that will give our junior golfers even more opportunities to shine.

We are creating a separate girls’ event in April that will be played at the site of The Chevron Championship, the first major of the LPGA Tour season. Our boys’ event is adding a third round, which means players can earn World Amateur Golf Ranking points, a first for the MCI.

Both events will have two age divisions, 13-18 and 12-and-under. The girls will play 36 holes with a field of 48 players, while the boys will play 54 holes with a field of 72. The boys’ event will have a cut after the first two rounds, with the low 50% of the field including ties advancing to the final round.

The girls will play April 13-15 at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, TX. The boys will play March 16-19 at Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the PGA Tour’s Cadence Bank Houston Open.

The MCI, inspired by the memory of Mack Champ, was created not only to provide a competitive experience for junior golfers of diverse backgrounds, but also to serve as a springboard into top-tier tournaments and college scholarships while creating an environment where players and families can build relationships that last a lifetime.

We believe these changes will help us deliver on our objectives and have a positive impact on these junior golfers now and for many years to come.
