Corey Pavin and the Southern California PGA announced that the inaugural Corey Pavin Southern California Invitational presented by the SCPGA Junior Tour will be played at Maderas Golf Club in Poway, Calif., on Jan. 25-26.
The 54-hole event will feature 90 of the top junior golfers from Southern California and around the world, including 60 boys and 30 girls.
“I am proud that the SCPGA and Corey Pavin have been able to establish this partnership,” said Tom Addis III, chief executive officer and executive director of the SCPGA. “Mr. Pavin is not only one of the greatest players of all-time, he is an alumni of our program, and a tremendous supporter of the game. I feel this event can be a great addition to the already thriving junior golf landscape in Southern California, including junior golf programs and player development activities.”
Pavin, who grew up in Oxnard, was a two-time All-American and 1982 NCAA Player of the Year at UCLA. He went on to win 15 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, and claimed his only title on the Champions Tour in the 2012 Allianz Championship.
