1964 was the inaugural year for the Invitational Golf Tournament. Top U.S. and foreign players 18 years and younger compete in this event which is now recognized as one of the world’s most prestigious junior golf tournaments. This invitational has produced such tour stars as Andy North, Craig Stadler, Hal Sutton, Mark Calcavecchia, Bob Tway, Billy Mayfair, willie Wood, and José María Olazábal, of Spain who won the 1994 Masters Championship in Augusta, Georgia. The Golf tournament continues to draw rising champions; Tiger Woods was the 1991 winner. A Bowling Tournament was added in 1969 attracting children from Florida, surrounding states and Puerto Rico; this was also the first year the parade was televised nationally.
In 1972 a Soccer Tournament was added. 1977 marked the first Girl’s International Golf Tournament. In 1978 Wrestling and a 5-K Run were added to the schedule of events. The early and mid eighties saw even more new events; a Creative Arts Competition (visual and written), Photography Contest, a Basketball Classic, Gymnastics Competition (attracting top junior gymnasts in the U.S.), The Sports Ability Games (geared towards physically challenged youth) and a Cheerleading Competition. The Caroling Competition emerged during the 1986 festival. In addition to the many new events, the 1989 Junior Orange Bowl Festival hosted the 1989 World Championship Games for Disabled Youth. This event alone brought physically challenged young athletes from around the world to compete for world titles.
