Student Spotlight – Christopher Richards Jr.

The name Christopher Richards is well known to competitors at the annual United States Golf Teachers Cup, but his son Christopher Richards Jr. is also making a name for himself. The younger Richards is the reigning champion of the Trinidad and Tobago Open, with one media outlet proclaiming he has replaced his dad as king of T&T golf. In addition, in 2021 as a 16-year-old, Richards won the Pointe-a-Pierre Junior Tournament. He recently represented Trinidad and Tobago in the Hoerman Cup as part of the Caribbean Amateur Golf Championship. He has also shot as low as 65 in official competition.

It’s not often a son lives up to a successful father’s accomplishments, but Richards Jr. might be the exception. And truth be told, the old man would be more than proud if his accomplishments were surpassed.
