Red Deer’s Eileen Park has been named one of six athletes to represent Canada at the upcoming World Junior Girls Golf Championship (WJG).

The tournament takes place Sept. 15-20 in St. Catharine’s, Ontario.

Park, who is a member of Canada’s NextGen Team, is joined by Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont., Michelle Xing of Richmond Hill, Ont., Clairey Lin of Langley, B.C., Kendria Wang of Vancouver, B.C. and Clara Ding of White Rock, B.C. Team designations (Team 1 & 2) will be announced closer to the tournament.

According to Golf Canada, Park will be competing in her third straight WJG, having represented Canada the past two tournaments. Last year, the 16-year-old finished T34 in the individual standings and helped Team Canada 2 finish T12. This season, Park has earned three runner-up finishes in AJGA events.

“We are very proud and excited to announce the six players who will represent Team Canada at the 2025 World Junior Girls Golf Championship. All of the players have had very strong seasons and are deserving of this selection,” said Emily Phoenix, Director, High Performance, Golf Canada.
