NXXT Faldo Expands North American Pathway with Canadian Junior Players Tour Partnership

Canadian qualification series to feed directly into the NXXT Faldo North American Championship and beyond to the Faldo World Final in Vietnam

FLORIDA, April 2026 - NXXT Golf is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with the Canadian Junior Players Tour (JPT), establishing an official qualification pathway into the NXXT Faldo North American Championship, set for December 28–30, 2026 in Florida.

Through this collaboration, select JPT events will serve as official qualifiers, with division winners male and female earning direct entry into the North American Championship. All qualified players will also receive automatic entry into the inaugural NXXT Faldo Canadian Championship, currently scheduled for late summer 2026 in the Greater Toronto Area.

For top performers, the pathway extends even further. The NXXT Faldo North American Championship serves as a qualifying route into the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final held annually at the Sir Nick Faldo Signature course at Laguna Golf Lang Co in Vietnam where North America's best junior golfers compete alongside elite players from across 45 countries for a place among the game's most celebrated junior champions.

"Canada is a key part of our North American vision," said Stuart McKinnon, CEO of NXXT Golf. "This partnership gives top Canadian juniors a clear, merit-based pathway from JPT events all the way to a world stage in Vietnam. We are building a platform where performance is rewarded and opportunity is earned, and JPT is exactly the right partner to help us bring that to life." "We are thrilled to partner with NXXT Golf to create a meaningful pathway for our players into a truly world-class championship structure," said Tyler Torrieri, CEO of the Canadian Junior Players Tour. "JPT has always been about developing the best junior golfers in Canada and this partnership gives our top performers a direct route to compete at the North American level and beyond. The opportunity to advance to the Faldo World Final in Vietnam is exactly the kind of aspirational next step our players deserve."

The NXXT Faldo Junior Tour is the Official North American Tour aligned with the globally recognized Faldo Series a platform that has produced more than 70 professional tour players since its founding in 1996, including major champions Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, and Yani Tseng.

The NXXT Faldo Canadian Championship will be operated by NXXT in collaboration with JPT, with venue, format, and full age division details to be announced in the coming weeks.
