The 23rd edition of the PGA University Championship—the National Championship for PGA Golf Management University programs—will be held Nov. 10-12 at Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton, Georgia.
The Championship, supported by Srixon/Cleveland Golf, will begin with practice rounds and a welcome dinner on Monday, Nov. 10, followed by two days of 36-hole, team stroke play competition. Teams of five players from 17 PGA Golf Management University programs will compete, with the four lowest scores each round counting toward each team’s total.
The field is competing for the Jones Cup trophy, named after the first PGA Golf Management University Program Director at Mississippi State, Dr. S. Roland Jones, who held the position from 1985 until his passing in 1997. The event provides an annual platform for participants to display professionalism, integrity, character and camaraderie—all characteristics Dr. Jones instilled in PGA Golf Management students. The medalist of the PGA University Championship will take home the Bill Cioffoletti Trophy.
“The PGA University Championship brilliantly showcases the commitment and talent of the next generation of PGA of America Golf Professionals,” said PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr. “This championship is one of the highlights on the calendar, and we look forward to a great week at Atlanta National Golf Club filled with competition and sportsmanship from our outstanding PGA Golf Management students.”…
