FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship
Future Champions Golf (FCG) is proud to announce the 2nd Annual FCG College Fair, taking place during the official Welcome Party at the 2026 FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship. This special education-focused event continues FCG’s commitment to providing life-changing opportunities for junior golfers and their families beyond the fairways.
In its inaugural year, 11 universities attended the College Fair, meeting directly with players and families to showcase academic programs, campus life, admissions pathways, and scholarship opportunities. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with families appreciating the opportunity to explore education options in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
For 2026, FCG is aiming to expand the College Fair to 25 universities, making it one of the most unique and impactful education showcases in junior golf.
Importantly, this event is not golf-specific recruiting. The FCG College Fair is about education first — helping families understand the broad range of academic opportunities available to student-athletes and future leaders. It’s about opening doors, starting conversations, and empowering young people to dream bigger about their futures.
The College Fair will once again be held during the Welcome Party, bringing together players from 40+ countries in a celebration of global competition and global opportunity.
The event is proudly sponsored by Paratum Scholars, and is led by education advocate and Independent Educational Consultant, Chuck Liddiard, whose leadership and vision have helped elevate this initiative into a cornerstone experience of championship week.
“Our mission has always been bigger than golf,” said Chris Smeal, Founder and President of Future Champions Golf. “We want our players to compete at the highest level, but we also want them to understand the educational opportunities available to them around the world. The College Fair is about exposure, awareness, and giving families real access to information that can shape their future.”
The 2026 FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship is expected to welcome approximately 850 players from more than 40 countries, making it one of the largest and most globally represented junior golf championships in the world. The expanded College Fair further strengthens the event’s commitment to development — both on and off the golf course.
Universities interested in participating in the 2026 FCG College Fair are encouraged to contact FCG directly for partnership opportunities.
