History

Our Story.

The Scott Robertson Memorial Golf Tournament is a prestigious 54-hole stroke play event held annually in honor of Scott Robertson, a promising young golfer from Roanoke Country Club. Scott, a 14-year-old ninth grader at North Cross School, was a talented student and athlete, having won multiple junior golf tournaments before tragically passing away from infectious mononucleosis in 1982.  His family and friends began this tournament in 1984 and it has grown to one of the most renowned junior golf tournaments in the country, attracting the top junior golfers each year. In 2024, Junior Golf Scoreboard ranked the tournament as the 20th strongest field for boys and the 14th for girls out of 1,000 junior events.  All proceeds from the event benefit First Tee - Roanoke Valley.


The Scott Robertson Memorial is recognized by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), World Amateur Golf Rankings, and Junior Golf Scoreboard. In addition, top finishers in the boys’ and girls’ divisions are awarded exemptions through the AJGA’s Performance-Based Entry process.
