It’s a tradition at this point. The American Junior Golf Association offers some out-of-this-world tee times in a public auction to raise money for “young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships.” And I get a bit jealous of the fortunate winners (with big hearts and equally big checkbooks) who get the chance to tee off at Winged Foot, The Country Club, Sunningdale and so on and so forth.
This year will be no different, as the 2026 AJGA Foundation Online Auction started on today and will run through Friday (Oct. 30) at 9 p.m. eastern, with a bounty of prizes and extravagant tee times. Plus, if you’re not yet ready to take on Valhalla, you can bid on some lessons with one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers. You can find the full list here.
Check out the auction!
The purpose of the auction is simple: to raise money for an organization that hosts more than 150 tournaments a year and provides resources for budding golfers. Every dollar at this auction will go to the junior golfers, including the Liberty National Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant. So … what are you waiting for?
Like in years past, it’s a who’s who of top courses on the docket with Chicago Golf Club, Streamsong and a one-year membership at the Dormie Network (which features premier destinations like Victoria National in Indiana, North Carolina’s Dormie Club and New Jersey’s Hidden Creek). There’s also 2025 Ryder Cup host Bethpage Black, nine holes with Internet Invitational star Brad Dalke, Medinah + Skokie Country Club threesomes, a chance to test your luck at Liberty National and even the rare opportunity to tee off at the exclusive Three Ponds Farm.
As previously mentioned, there are lessons with Golf Digest’s No. 1 Missouri Teacher Brian Fogt on the table. As well as the chance for your very own RG Golf Eagleye III Professional Simulator Package or even a TaylorMade Kingdom Full-Bag Fitting.
For those not looking for golf prizes—although you may be on the wrong website—there are premium Red Sox tickets, a signed Stephen Curry jersey and even a chance to stop by the National Dog Show.
This will be popcorn bidding, which means that “each item will remain open for bidding past the auction close time until it hasn’t received a bid for at least 10 minutes,” so it’s time to peruse the list, crack open that piggy bank and get your mind right before hacking it at Sleepy Hollow Country Club.
