The winner of the 2025 Canadian Junior Boys Championship will earn coveted exemptions into both the U.S. Junior Amateur and 121st Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in 2026.
After six NextGen Championships and various junior tournaments from coast-to-coast, the championship runs at the Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club.
Practice rounds beginning on Monday.
“We have a competitive and proven field teeing off at our Canadian Junior Boys Championship this week,” said Golf Canada tournament director Sam Brown said.
“Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club is a premier golf facility on our country’s east coast and will offer a unique challenge to Canada’s best young talent,” he added.
“This opportunity is made possible through the skilled staff and volunteers working the event and we are excited for play to get underway.”
Located on the shores of New Brunswick’s Bathurst Harbour, Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club, the 6,700-yard property was considered to be one of the most demanding courses in Atlantic Canada following its 18-hole completion in 1962.
Since 1938, the Canadian Junior Boys Championship has brought together the top junior talent in the country for four rounds of competition.
Golf Canada said those to have previously claimed the Silver Cup have gone on to serve memorable careers in the game of golf, including Canadian golf hall of famers Doug Silverberg (1950), George Knudson (1955), Gary Cowan (1956) and Doug Roxburgh (1970), as well as current PGA TOUR players Nick Taylor and Adam Svensson who each won the tournament in 2006 and 2012 respectively.
All competing players, no matter their division, must have their handicap index below 10 to be eligible to compete in the tournament.
A live leaderboard will be updated throughout the tournament.
