The Junior Open Championship is a biennial event, to which all golfing nations affiliated to The R&A are invited to enter their best under-16 boy and girl golfers. In 2016, 80 countries were represented in the starting field of 143 competitors[1] contrasting with 2002 when a total of 86 boys and girls from 58 countries took part.[2] Boys and girls compete in the same event but play off different tees.

The Junior Open is closely linked to The Open Championship and is always played on a nearby course in the same week in July. All competitors are invited to attend The Open after the conclusion of their own event.[3]

The competition came under the R&A's administrative umbrella in 2000, having been founded in 1994.[3]
