Who is Jackson Koivun? PGA Tour rookie selected for Presidents Cup

Jackson Koivun, a 21-year-old golfer from San Jose, California, has been selected to represent the United States team in the upcoming Presidents Cup, set to take place from September 22-27 at Medinah Country Club in Chicago. As one of three rookies on the 12-man team, Koivun, who has only five PGA Tour starts, has made history as the first golfer to start a year without a PGA Tour card and play in the Presidents Cup since Jordan Spieth in 2013.

The United States team, led by captain Brandt Snedeker, also includes Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, and Chris Gotterup. Koivun's impressive college career at Auburn saw him become the SEC Player of the Year three consecutive years and win the individual championship each year from 2024 to 2026.
