When asked what golf has taught him, Jackson shared two guiding principles:

“Honesty and humility. Golf is an individual sport built on respect and sportsmanship. It instills values that stay with us long beyond our playing days. The game teaches us how to face and overcome adversity - and for that, I’m very grateful.”

We’re proud to partner with the Ben Hogan Award and celebrate student-athletes like Jackson who inspire through both performance and character. Congratulations, Jackson, on this remarkable achievement!
