The 2026 Junior Charity Classic officially announced Lenovo ThinkBook as the tournament’s title sponsor, with the event now rebranded as the Junior Charity Classic 2026 Presented by Lenovo ThinkBook.
The tournament will be held June 10–12 at Enhance Anting Golf Club and is expected to feature many of Asia’s top junior golfers competing for international opportunities and world amateur ranking points.
Jointly led by Olympic medalist Janet Lin alongside sports marketing executive Smile Xu, the tournament is co-hosted by THE SPIN Sports Education Foundation and The CJ Wang Foundation and operated by Miles Group. The event is officially recognized by both World Amateur Golf Ranking and Junior Golf Scoreboard.
“The Junior Charity Classic sets a brand-new standard for junior golf. Our mission is to provide Asia’s top junior players with exceptional playing opportunities, including direct access to elite junior events in the United States. We are committed to delivering the ultimate tournament experience—one that mirrors the quality and professionalism of a top-tier professional event. This is more than just a junior competition. We extend our sincere thanks to Enhance Anting for making the Junior Charity Classic accessible by waiving green fees, and with the generous support of Lenovo ThinkBook, we will create an unforgettable event that players will want to return to year after year.” said co-founder Smile Xu.
As title sponsor, Lenovo ThinkBook will partner closely with the tournament to help elevate the overall player and fan experience while supporting the continued growth of junior golf in Asia.
Wang Zhong, Vice President of Lenovo Group, said: “On the golf course, ‘lightness’ means a precise and effortless swing. In the workplace, ‘lightness’ means inspiration that moves with you. ThinkBook X Junior Charity Classic pays tribute to every young elite who dares to challenge themselves.”
The 54-hole stroke-play championship will feature a field of 108 players. Top performers will earn coveted exemptions into two prestigious American Junior Golf Association events: the AP Invitational Junior presented by Ninja and the AJGA SSEF Junior Championship.
In addition to tournament competition, the event will include several professional-level features rarely seen in junior golf, including an 18th-hole hospitality suite, fan village, live broadcast coverage, and professional commentary.
Tournament week will also feature a series of off-course activities, including a barbecue party, junior sports forum, and instructional clinics hosted by professional players, creating a comprehensive championship experience for players and families alike.
With Lenovo ThinkBook joining as title sponsor, the Junior Charity Classic 2026 Presented by Lenovo ThinkBook continues to position itself as one of Asia’s premier junior golf events and a launchpad for the next generation of global stars.
