Nearly 100 young golfers from around the world will come to Victoria to test their skills when the City of Victoria hosts the Victoria Texas Preview, an American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Preview Tournament, April 18-21 at Riverside Golf Course.
This is the second year of a three-year contract that the City of Victoria secured with AJGA to host this tournament. The City will have the chance to renew the contract after the third year.
The AJGA hosts golf tournaments for players aged 12-19 seeking to play at the college level. The Preview Series has many notable past participants, such as Will Zalatoris, Alison Lee, Xander Schauffele, Brooke Henderson and Andrea Lee, who started their AJGA and national junior golf careers through the Preview Series. Last year’s Victoria Texas Preview had an economic impact of $350,556.
During the tournament, the schedule for Riverside Golf Course is the following:
- April 18 – closed all day
- April 19-20 – closed until 3 p.m.
- April 21 – closed until 12 p.m.

The City is seeking volunteers for the tournament. Volunteers can choose to help with recording times, player registration or filling water coolers, and they can choose which days they want to attend.
Every volunteer will receive an AJGA hat and pin. Lunch will be provided.
