From 16 to 18 September, the Evian Resort Golf Club hosted the 18th edition of the Amundi Evian Juniors Cup. A true benchmark for international U14 golf, the event once again brought together the very best young players — in 2025, representing 20 nations. Over three days, the iconic course of The Amundi Evian Championship — the only Major tournament on continental Europe — provided the stage for performances of the highest calibre.

Recognized as one of the most prestigious springboards for future golf stars, the Amundi Evian Juniors Cup featured two separate individual leaderboards (girls and boys) alongside a team competition. Each delegation, comprising two boys and two girls, had its three best daily scores combined to produce the team total.

After three days of intense competition, Team USA emerged victorious in the 2025 edition’s overall standings. With remarkable consistency and a total score of +3, the Americans finished ahead of Spain in second place (+10) and Japan in third (+12). South Korea took fourth at +17, followed by Switzerland (+22) and France (+24).
