Additional information:

The 10th edition of the Latin America Amateur Championship (LAAC) will be held from January 16-19, 2025, at Pilar Golf Club in Argentina.

Founded in 2014 by the Masters Tournament, The R&A and the USGA, the LAAC was established to further develop amateur golf in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The championship annually moves to top courses throughout Latin America and showcases the sport’s rising talent in the region, including PGA Tour winners and 2020 Olympians such as Joaquin Niemann of Chile, the 2018 LAAC champion, and Sebastián Muñoz of Colombia.

This year's champion receives an invitation to compete in the 2022 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club and automatically qualifies for The 150th Open at St Andrews. The winner also receives full exemptions into The Amateur Championship, U.S. Amateur Championship and any other USGA amateur championship for which he is eligible and is exempt into the final stages of qualifying for the 2022 U.S. Open Championship.

The typical 120-player field is comprised annually of the top male amateurs in Latin America representing the 29 IOC-recognized countries and territories from this region that are current members of the International Golf Federation.

The Golfer's Journal x Lima

Lima is a city of ten million with two of the best restaurants in the world, a 1,000-year-old pyramid in the middle of a shopping district, and almost no golf.

This original film from The Golfer's Journal follows Tom Coyne through a week at the Latin America Amateur Championship, where the winner earns starts at The Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship. Between rounds, Coyne eats piranha at a restaurant once ranked the best on earth, watches dancers in eagle masks circle an adobe pyramid where the Claret Jug sits on the steps, and meets the players and officials who spent a decade getting this tournament to Peru. Then he drives an hour out of the city to a nine-hole course beside an airstrip, where kids learn the game in the dirt.

Local Rules: Lima shows what golf can mean to a country just discovering it.
