Anh Minh and Anh Huy are ready to conquer the US Junior Amateur 2025

Trevor Gutschewski is the reigning US Junior Amateur champion.

Top Course for Junior Golf

The 2025 US Junior Amateur will take place from July 21 to 26 at two of Texas’ top golf courses: Trinity Forest Golf Club and Brook Hollow Golf Club (for stroke play only). This year’s tournament will attract a total of 256 golfers from 32 countries (including the host country, the United States).

After 2 rounds of intense stroke play, the 64 golfers with the best qualifying results will enter a knockout round to find the champion.

The prize for the champion is extremely prestigious, including: Cup and medal from the USGA; exemption from qualifying for the next US Junior Amateur; exclusive participation in the 2025 and 2026 US Amateur; exclusive participation in the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills (as an amateur).

The history of the US Junior Amateur, founded in 1948, has seen many former champions who later became superstars or big names in top golf such as Tiger Woods (15 majors in a record 82 PGA Tour cups), Jordan Spieth (three majors in 13 PGA Tour cups), and current world number one Scottie Scheffler.

Two hopes Anh Minh and Anh Huy

Nguyen Anh Minh (2007) participated in the US Junior Amateur for the second consecutive time. Last season, Anh Minh made history by reaching the quarterfinals, becoming one of two international representatives, along with Xihuan Chang (China), to participate in this round. Anh Minh then stopped by Xihuan Chang in the direct confrontation match.

This year, Anh Minh was honored by the USGA and introduced on the official website as one of the most notable faces, showing international recognition for the number one young talent of Vietnamese golf today.

Anh Minh (ranked 51st in the world) is also in the Top 5 athletes with the highest WAGR ranking in this year's competition list, along with notable names such as: Miles Russell (ranked 18th) - 2025 Junior Invitational champion; Luke Colton (25) - Western Junior runner-up; Tyler Watts (45) - current US Junior Amateur runner-up; Xihuan Chang (98).

In addition, the tournament also features Charlie Woods (son of the legendary Tiger Woods) and Jackson Byrd (son of Jonathan Byrd, who won the PGA Tour 5 times, won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year title in 2002 and was a member of the 1999 US Walker Cup team).

Meanwhile, Ho Anh Huy will make his debut at the world’s largest junior golf tournament. The national golf team member earned a direct spot thanks to being in the Top 100 WAGR.

According to the schedule, the first round of stroke play will take place on July 21 (US time): Ho Anh Huy will start at 8:48 at Trinity Forest Golf Club, while Nguyen Anh Minh will start at 13:36 at Brook Hollow Golf Club.
