"I knew I wasn't ready."
Why did Jackson Koivun wait to turn pro after earning his card?
His golf game was ready, but he didn't feel mentally prepared for the hardships of PGA Tour life.
An amateur no more.
The #1 ranked amateur in the world, 2x National Champion and 2x college player of the year, Jackson Koivun, is turning pro.
The U.S. Open will be his final start as an amateur, and he’ll make his pro debut at the John Deere Classic.
Jackson Koivun will go down as one of the best college players of all time. 3 years, 3 SEC individual titles, 11 wins, world No. 1 amateur for a full year+, 2 team Nattys with Auburn, reached top 50 in Data Golf, 4 straight finishes of T11 or better on PGA Tour last summer (and thus missed out on roughly $1.4 million).
Was never gonna stay amateur through the U.S. Am, so if he came back he'd really be staying in school just to try to win the NCAA individual title. Doesn't really make sense. He knows he can compete with the best in the world. Time to make it happen.
Golf’s next chapter is writing itself.
Defined by discipline, perspective, and a relentless commitment to the process, Jackson Koivun represents a new generation of player shaping where the game goes next.

USA vs ENGLAND ON JULY 4TH IN THE WORLD CUP 🇺🇸🦅
What better way to celebrate our 250th birthday than kicking England’s ass AGAIN???
Here’s how it happens:
- USA wins Group D
- England finishes second in Group L
- Both teams win their Round of 32 match
The best part is the game would be in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was originally signed.
This is destiny.
