Major Moves
Tomas Restrepo has climbed two spots to Golf NIL High School Boys No. 23, continuing a strong run into 2026.
The 17-year-old from Manizales, Colombia, closed out 2025 with five wins and 10 top-10 finishes. That run included a historic individual victory at the Toyota Junior World Cup, making him the first Colombian to claim the title. He also won the Tour Elite at Club Manizales in December.
Restrepo carried that momentum into 2026, winning the Junior Orange Bowl International earlier this month—a performance that has placed him alongside legendary Colombian golfers Camilo Benedetti and Camilo Villegas as tournament champions. Ranked inside the world's top 150, he currently sits solo eighth heading into the final round of the Latin America Amateur, where he is competing for exemptions into the Masters, U.S. Open, and Open Championship.
A Callaway ambassador and product of Colombia's High Performance Amateur Program (PAR), Restrepo was recently named Youth Sportsman of the Year by Golf Colombia. He heads to Ole Miss this fall.

Mia Hammond moves into the No. 4 spot in the Golf NIL High School Girls Rankings, powered by a solo third-place finish at The Sally.
The 2026 U.S. National Junior Team member became the first amateur in five years to win on the Epson Tour with her victory at the 2025 Greater Toledo Classic, the Stacy Lewis‑hosted event that’s now the signature result on a year that included solo second-place finishes at the McCracken Sports Junior Championship and Callaway Junior at Canebrake Club.
One of the most followed players in high school golf, the Duke University commit is represented by Sterling Sports Management and is a Transcend Golf partner.
Tommy Morrissey moves up a spot to break into the top 10 of the Golf NIL High School Boys Rankings, driven by a surge in visibility as a content creator.
With more than 100,000 social media followers, the one-armed high school freshman has turned YouTube matches against golf talents like Grant Horvat and Henry Grillo and former Kentucky baseball player Austin Shultz into must-watch NIL golf content.
Morrissey’s partner lineup includes Titleist, flyExclusive, Bruce Bolt Golf, and Stitch Golf.
Welcome to the Boards
