2026 US KIDS worlds at Pinehurst
Team Bonk at Pinehurst Worlds 2026: Celebrating Our Athletes Across Kids & Teen Championships
What a spectacular couple of weeks in the Home of American Golf! The 2026 U.S. Kids Golf events at Pinehurst delivered back-to-back showcases of junior talent from around the world.
First came the U.S. Kids Golf World Teen Championship (ages 13–18) from July 23–25, contested on championship courses across the Pinehurst area. Then the world’s largest junior tournament, the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship (ages 5–12), followed from July 30–August 1, complete with the Parade of Nations, parent-child events, three rounds of intense competition, and the Van Horn Cup.
At Bonk Golf, we design premium, high-performance apparel for juniors who dream big and play with passion. This year we were especially proud to see a strong contingent of Team Bonk athletes competing across both prestigious Pinehurst events. Earning a place in these highly selective fields—through consistent excellence, Priority Status, and hard work on local and regional tours—is a major achievement. Representing themselves, their families, and Team Bonk on those historic greens is something worth celebrating.
Huge congratulations to our sponsored athletes who competed at the 2026 Pinehurst Worlds (Kids and Teen Championships):
• Olivia Barnes
• Emma Suarez
• Eric Suarez
• Hannah Sword
• Jonathan Budnick
• Bryson Chang
• Joshua Fleming
• Victor Kornienko
• Will Lorberbaum
• Georgia Spence
These young players embody everything Bonk stands for: passion, perseverance, confidence, and the drive to keep improving. Whether they teed it up in the Teen Championship the week prior or in the main World Championship, they all stepped onto the biggest stage in junior golf and competed against the best peers from dozens of countries and nearly every U.S. state.
Many arrived with impressive résumés already filled with tour titles, high Priority Status, strong finishes, and national-level results. Watching them march in the Parade of Nations, battle on Pinehurst’s legendary courses, form new friendships, and gain invaluable championship experience fills us with pride.
To every Team Bonk family who traveled, practiced, supported, and cheered through both weeks—thank you. The memories made in the Sandhills, the lessons learned under pressure, and the pure joy of competing at Pinehurst will last a lifetime.
We’re already looking ahead. Whether your junior is chasing the next invitation, grinding on the local tour, or just falling in love with the game, Bonk Golf has the gear to help them look and feel ready. Our moisture-wicking, durable junior apparel and signature hats (with built-in tee holders and magnetic ball markers) are built for long tournament days and even bigger dreams.
Congratulations again to Olivia, Jonathan, Bryson, Joshua, Victor, Will, Georgia, Emma, Eric, and Hannah. You represented Team Bonk with heart across both Worlds events. We’re so proud of every swing.
Dream big. Play bold. Dress the part.
