To showcase junior golf in Canada for under-19 girls by conducting a competition where sucessful qualifiers have the opportunity and exposure to highly coveted junior girls competitions worldwide with exemptions into ANNIKA Invitationals conducted by the ANNIKA Foundation.
The inaugural ANNIKA Challenge (Canada), hosted by the Hamilton-Halton Junior Golf Tour, will take place Aug. 29-31, 2022 on the Battlefield Course at Legends on the Niagara in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The competition will be administered by Great Lakes Tour Ltd. which has been the top developmental tour in Canada for 20 years.
The Hamilton/Halton Junior Golf Tour was established in 1984 with the primary goal to create a junior golf championship for the Hamilton/Halton regions, while providing a forum in which junior players, aged 18 and under, could enhance their considerable talents through competition with their peers. The Tour was the first of its kind in Ontario and remains one of the most affordable junior tours in the province. Visit www.hhjgt.com
With 20 years of experience, the Great Lakes Golf Tour, or as its better known, the Great Lakes Tour (GLT) has quickly risen to become the country's largest professional tournament provider. The tour currently conducts approximately 12 to 15 competitive golf events across Ontario annually and since 2001, 65 members have gone on to compete in at least one PGA TOUR event in their career. Founded in 2001 the Great Lakes Tour was made to serve as a vital training ground for some of Canada’s best touring and club professionals.
"The GLT was instrumental in the development of my career as a professional golfer. I loved having the opportunity to test my game against great competition on outstanding golf courses all across Ontario. Learning how to win and how to handle being in contention is paramount at every level of professional golf and the GLT helped me tremendously with that. I still draw on those experiences to this day and will continue to do so on the PGA Tour."
