The Tar Heel Junior Golf Tour is thrilled to congratulate TJGT alum and two-time champion Ben Griffin on his selection to the United States Ryder Cup team. Griffin’s achievement marks a historic moment for our tour, as one of our own now joins the most elite stage in professional golf.
Ben’s time competing on the TJGT showcased the talent, determination, and character that have carried him through every level of the game. His junior golf victories were just the beginning of a remarkable journey that has included collegiate success at the University of North Carolina, consistent performances on the PGA TOUR, and now the honor of representing Team USA in the Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup, one of the most prestigious events in golf, pits the best players from the United States against Europe in a spirited team competition. Being named to this team is a testament to Ben’s dedication, resilience, and ability to deliver under pressure.
“Seeing Ben Griffin’s name on the Ryder Cup roster is incredibly special for all of us who have watched his development,” said Jason Cox, Director of Competitions for TJGT. “He’s an outstanding role model for every junior golfer chasing their dreams.”
The entire TJGT community will be cheering for Ben as he competes in this iconic event. His journey from winning junior tournaments on our tour to playing for his country on golf’s biggest stage is an inspiration to all.
Congratulations, Ben — we’re proud of you and wish you the very best at the Ryder Cup!
