About the Championship
Founded by the Masters Tournament, The R&A and the USGA in 2014, the Latin America Amateur Championship was established to further develop amateur golf in South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The event, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025, annually moves to top courses throughout Latin America and showcases the sport’s rising talent in the region. The 2026 Championship will mark its debut in Peru. Notable past competitors include Colombia’s Nicolas Echavarria and Sebastian Muñoz, Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti and Chile’s Cristobal Del Solar, Mito Pereira and Joaquin Niemann, the latter of which won the 2018 Championship. The 2026 champion will receive an invitation to compete in the 2026 Masters Tournament and exemptions into The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale and the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
Lima Golf Club, the site of the 2026 Championship, is a parkland-style course surrounded by high-rise buildings, most of which have come in the century since the club’s inception in 1924. The venue has hosted the Copa Los Andes, the Pan American Games and the Women’s Amateur Latin America Championship. Lima Golf Club is one of the oldest courses in Peru and underwent a redesign by the golf course architecture firm, Mackenzie & Ebert, in 2018.
