The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT), the world’s largest operator of multi-day junior golf tournaments, will bring its nationally recognized competitive series to Sun ’N Lake Golf Club in Sebring, FL, for the Central Florida Fall Junior Open on October 18–19. The two-day championship-style tournament, which is hosted in part by a grant from Visit Sebring/Highlands County Tourist Development Council (TDC), is open to all competitive junior golfers ages 8-18.
The deadline to register for the Central Florida Fall Junior Open is Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Registration details can be found at HJGT.org/tournaments.
The HJGT hosts 350+ tournaments each year across the United States and internationally, offering opportunities for junior golfers to compete in a professional, college-prep environment. By bringing an HJGT event to Sebring, the tour showcases the region as a hub for youth golf development and invites players and families from across Florida and neighboring states to experience the community’s hospitality.
“Sebring is known for its welcoming community and great golf courses,” said Rex Grayner, SVP of Business Development at HJGT. “Events like the Central Florida Fall Junior Open not only help young golfers test their skills at a high level, but also generate excitement and economic activity in the region.”
Hosting this event is important for Sebring and Highlands County because it supports youth development by inspiring the next generation of golfers with opportunities to compete and grow. It also brings a clear economic impact, as traveling families will book local accommodations, dine at restaurants, and contribute directly to the local economy. Beyond the numbers, the tournament fosters community pride by giving local juniors the chance to compete against some of the best up-and-coming players in the Southeast. For many participants, this is also a steppingstone toward a college pathway, as many HJGT golfers aspire to compete at the collegiate level.
