The Amundi Evian Showcase 2024: A Key Milestone for the Rising Stars of French Golf

After the success of the Jabra Ladies Open in May, marked by Swiss player Morgane Metraux's victory, and the triumph of Japan's Ayaka Furue at the Major The Amundi Evian Championship in July, the Evian Resort Golf Club is set to host two international tournaments for young golfers in September 2024.
September 17-19: The Amundi Evian Juniors Cup – A Breeding Ground for Future Champions
Since its inception in 2007, The Amundi Evian Juniors Cup has become an unmissable event for golfers under 14. This team-based tournament, won by the USA in 2023, has served as a launchpad for many now-famous players, including Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, and Rose Zhang.
In its 16 editions, The Amundi Evian Juniors Cup has unveiled future professionals while offering amateurs the opportunity to compete against the international elite, providing them with invaluable experience for their future careers. This tournament embodies The Amundi Evian Championship’s ongoing commitment to nurturing and developing tomorrow’s talent. Beyond the competition, the event serves as a vital platform for sharing and exchange, facilitating the personal and athletic growth of future champions.

September 21-22: The Grand Final of The Amundi Evian Kids Cup
Launched in 2010 by Sandrine Mendiburu, The Amundi Evian Kids Cup also reflects the Major’s commitment to youth. Aimed at children under 12, this competition offers them the chance to experience international golf competition in a prestigious and formative setting. As the youngest event in the "Galaxy of The Amundi Evian Championship," this initiative underscores the importance of developing young talent at Evian.
As the largest European competition in its category, The Amundi Evian Kids Cup comprises seven qualifying events across France, culminating in a final at Evian. Talents like Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, who won multiple times between 2010 and 2012, have emerged from this competition. Today, the event continues to rely on renowned partners such as Amundi and Callaway, and enjoys the support of prestigious patrons like Jon Rahm and Julien Brun.
For the young participants aged 8 to 12, this event represents much more than just a competition. It is an opportunity to showcase their skills while creating lasting memories. By encouraging the participation of the youngest golfers, The Amundi Evian Kids Cup fosters a passion for golf from an early age and contributes to building a strong and enduring sporting culture.

Rendez-vous in September 

During the 30th edition of The Amundi Evian Championship, the prestigious "Prize for a Better Tomorrow presented by Rolex" was awarded to the Roger Federer Foundation, represented by Roger Federer himself. This organization, dedicated to the education of children in Africa and Switzerland, stands out for its commitment to inclusion through sport.
The mission of the Roger Federer Foundation is to empower disadvantaged children to take control of their future by fully supporting them from a young age. Believing that this goal can be achieved through enhanced support and quality education, the foundation works to improve access to education and overcome challenges such as high repetition rates and, most importantly, the lack of education among children under the age of 8.
To date, nearly 2.9 million children worldwide have benefited from the program launched 20 years ago by Roger Federer.
 
A NEW IMPETUS FOR EDUCATION AND INCLUSION THROUGH SPORT
he Roger Federer Foundation supports numerous educational structures for children aged 3 to 8 in Southern Africa and Switzerland. This investment encourages the development of each child and assists various educational stakeholders by discovering new methods to improve the quality of learning. In Switzerland, the foundation also supports disadvantaged children outside of the school environment.
The Roger Federer Foundation collaborates exclusively with carefully selected local organizations, establishing long-term partnerships to ensure continuous and systematic improvement in education.
 
ABOUT THE PRIZE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW PRESENTED BY ROLEX:
Since 2019, each year on the occasion of The Amundi Evian Championship, The Prize for a Better Tomorrow presented by Rolex celebrates golf-related initiatives with a strong societal impact that uphold the values shared by the women's major and the watchmaker - excellence, generosity, continuity and inspiration. This international prize showcases the commitment of people and organisations who defend a cause and implement initiatives to improve and reinvent the future.
