The 2024 season of the Future Champions Tour concluded with an extraordinary finale at Ampfield Golf & Country Club. Players from both the Future Champions Tour and the Future Champions Mini Tour competed for trophies, prizes, and the prestigious titles of this year’s Order of Merit Champions.
A highlight of the day was the presence of Sam Hutsby, former Hampshire Junior and DP World Tour Player, who joined us to celebrate the players’ achievements. Sam generously presented the prizes, met with players and parents, and ensured the day was unforgettable. Each participant received a signed golf ball from Sam, their season medal, a playing certificate, and a special gift from The R&A. A huge thank you to The R&A for your continued support and dedication to growing the game of golf.
We are incredibly grateful to TaylorMade Golf and Adidas Golf for their outstanding support throughout the season. From providing kit and equipment to donating Rory McIlroy's tour bag for events across the county, your contributions have been instrumental to our success.
