New JGS Indonesia Season Starts, 16 Tournaments to Forge Junior Golf Stars

The Junior golf Series (JGS) Indonesia officially opened its 2026 competition season through a press conference held at Royale Jakarta Golf Club on Saturday, April 18, 2026. This launch marked a strategic step in advancing Indonesia's junior golf development toward the international stage.

JGS Indonesia presents a structured competition system that not only focuses on tournaments but also builds a sustainable coaching ecosystem for young athletes. This system is designed to directly connect with various junior golf championships across Asia and globally.

As part of The Junior Golf Series network that has expanded in Thailand, Indonesia, and Korea, JGS Indonesia brings international competition standards to the development of young athletes in the homeland. The platform also opens access to over 12 countries within the junior golf career development pathway.

Throughout the 2026 season, JGS Indonesia will hold a total of 16 tournaments. All competitions are integrated into a performance-based Point Race System. Each athlete will accumulate points to determine national rankings while unlocking qualifying opportunities for international levels.

The competition season will culminate with the Indonesian Junior Masters 2026. This event will serve as the primary selection to determine Indonesia's top 16 Junior Golfers who will represent the country at the Asian Junior Masters, one of Asia's most prestigious junior tournaments.

Through this system, athletes also gain opportunities to compete in various international tournaments such as the Singapore Junior Masters, Thailand Junior Masters, Taiwan Junior Open, JGS Korea Championship, and the NextGen Amateur Tour in Australia.

This season's press conference was attended by approximately 120 participants, including junior athletes, parents, national media, and the golf community. The high participation reflects growing interest in early-age golf development in Indonesia.

"JGS Indonesia isn't just organizing tournaments but building a structured and sustainable coaching system. We want to pave the way for Indonesian athletes to compete internationally," stated Rido Nurul Adityawan, General Chairman of JGS Indonesia.

Support for junior golf development also came from PT. Intra GolfLink Resorts, Tbk (PT IGR) as the sponsor of JGS Indonesia. Agus Herwinoto, General Manager of PT. Intra GolfLink Resorts, Tbk, emphasized that the event holds value beyond competition.

"The Junior Golf Series activities are not just competitions but also a platform for character building and nurturing the Young Generation," he explained.

"The core is educating their mentality (junior Golf Athletes) to compete in highly competitive environments," he added.

As a tangible commitment, PT IGR expressed readiness to facilitate JGS Indonesia events through several Golf Courses they manage. Three premier locations prepared include Blackrocks Golf Club in Belitung, New Kuta Golf in bali, and Palm Hill Golf Club in Sentul, Bogor.

These facilities are expected to provide high-standard competition experiences while expanding the tournament's reach to Indonesia's premier golf destinations.

With its system-based approach, global standards, and clear competition pathway, JGS Indonesia aims to become the primary platform for producing a new generation of Indonesian Golfers ready to compete on the world stage.
