Registration Information

World Championship Invitations

Priority Status invitations with registration information will be emailed to qualified players based on availability, starting February 10th. Once a player is invited via qualifying Priority Status, the event is unlocked in the player's profile and the player can register (no unlock code needed). Please note that receiving an invitation does not guarantee a player’s spot, as entries into all events are subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis.

Due to the high demand of the event, each invitation will have an expiration date. Players who fail to register by the expiration date listed on their invitation, but still wish to enter the event, will be placed on a waitlist. After your invitation expires, you must contact tournaments@uskidsgolf.com to be placed on the waitlist.

For more information on the Status program or how to earn Status, please visit our Priority Status homepage. Additional details on World Championship qualification methods are listed below.

World Championship Invitation Grid

A table showing World Championship invitations based on current Priority Status is available above. Additional Statuses will only be invited if space is available within the age group. If your player earns a qualifying Status for his or her age group during a U.S. Kids Golf event, you will receive an invitation at that time. Save this location to check for updates. A player's Priority Status must not expire before July 31, 2020, to be eligible for the 2020 World Championship. A player's age on July 31, 2020, will determine his/her age group for the duration of the event.

Additional details on World Championship qualification methods are listed below.

• Priority Status Levels Lifetime Through Level 11: February 10
• All Additional Priority Status Levels: Based on availability in your respective age group

Sibling Exemptions

Players who request a sibling exemption for the World Championship, and meet the exemption requirements, will be placed on a waiting list. We will begin reviewing the sibling waitlist starting June 2nd. Upon review, qualified siblings will only be accepted on a space-available basis and by Priority Status Level.

Meeting the sibling exemption requirements DOES NOT guarantee entry into the event. Only players with Priority Status Level 4 and up are eligible to receive an exemption.

Please visit our Sibling Exemption Policy for more information regarding requirements.
