The Illinois Junior Golf Association is pleased to welcome Matt Walters as the new Coordinator of Programming. Matt previously worked as a Tournament Coordinator Intern for the IJGA in 2019. He grew up playing in IJGA tournaments before attending the University of Iowa, where he recently graduated with a degree in Sport & Recreation Management.

He continued, “The Illinois Junior Golf Association is one of the best organizations for junior golf. They help build characteristics and life skills such as integrity and sportsmanship. As a former IJGA player, this organization means so much to me and I cannot wait to help make a difference for junior golfers.”
