Jackson Koivun Turns Pro at US Open at Age 21, World's Top Amateur

Jackson Koivun announced at the US Open press conference that he is ready to join the professional ranks. While representing Auburn University, he entered 13 events, claimed six victories and captured the Haskins, Hogan and Nicklaus player‑of‑the‑year honors.

He explained that a one‑year delay was due to mental preparation and the challenges of travel, and that he now feels fully prepared. Koivun will enter the PGA Tour through its university pathway and start the new season as a rookie.
