The National Junior Golf Ranking 2017 will be organised based on the junior events conducted by the Sri Lanka Golf Union, the governing body of Golf in Sri Lanka.

The National Junior Golf Rankings introduced in 2016, sponsored by NDB Wealth Management Ltd. was a tremendous boost to the juniors, with the top five in each age group category awarded a certificate and a SLGU ranking card with the ability to play on all the golf courses in Sri Lanka as a reward.

The 2017 junior calendar got off to a great start with the P&S Junior Match Play Championship conducted in April and the following junior rankings in five varying categories are as per the points earned after the first event. Two regional events in the different age group categories to be played at Victoria Golf and Country Resort as well as the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, with the final feature event the Sri Lanka Junior Championship bringing the curtain down at the Royal Colombo Golf Club in December 2017.
