Elevating the Game: Colorado PGA Junior Golf and the Mizuno Partnership

How Mizuno is helping elevate junior golf and create opportunities for the next generation of players in Colorado

Elevating the Game: Colorado PGA Junior Golf and the Mizuno Partnership

In the world of competitive youth sports, few things carry as much weight as a “Major.” For young golfers in the Rocky Mountain region, the Colorado PGA Junior Golf Major Championships represent the pinnacle of the season. Central to the success of these events is a deep-rooted partnership with Mizuno. This brand has become a cornerstone of support for the Colorado PGA Junior Cup Series circuit.

Mizuno’s involvement goes far beyond simple logo placement. As a primary supporter of the Colorado PGA Junior Cup Series Majors, Mizuno provides a “Tour-level” experience for these young athletes. From high-end tee gifts featuring Mizuno performance gear to sponsoring events like the Junior Invitational, Mizuno ensures that the state’s best talent has a professional platform to showcase their skills. Their commitment helps keep the game accessible while maintaining the prestige that Colorado golf is known for.

A new highlight of the season is the announcement of the Mizuno Sponsor Exception. This program recognizes elite performance by covering the membership costs for the top 3 boys and top 3 girls from the 2025 COPGA Cup Series standings.

Last season, several standout athletes earned their place in the field through Mizuno’s support. We are proud to highlight this year’s sponsor-exempt players: Addison Dorsey, Aja Blankenship, Tatum Platt, Greg White, Jack Brayman, and Nicholas Brooks.

These six golfers represent the future of the sport in Colorado. Thanks to the unwavering support of Mizuno, these sponsor-exempt players and hundreds of other juniors continue to have the opportunity to chase their dreams on the fairway. Keep an eye on these names as they compete for the title of Major Champion!
