Auburn freshman Jackson Koivun has been named the winner of the 2024 Ben Hogan Award. The award is given to the top men’s college golfer based on performance in collegiate, amateur, and professional events over the previous year.
Koivun had a standout season, winning both the SEC Championship and another tournament. He finished in the top 10 in 11 out of 12 starts this season and has only lost to 39 players heading into the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship at Omni La Costa’s North Course in Carlsbad, California. In addition to his impressive collegiate performance, Koivun was also a quarterfinalist at the 2023 U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver.
The selection committee, comprised of leaders and experts in college, amateur, and professional golf, voted Koivun as the winner of the Ben Hogan Award. Past award winners were also eligible to vote in the final round to rank the three finalists. Koivun is now one of the top 10 players on the watch list for the Haskins Award, which will be announced next week. This story was originally featured on GolfWeek.
