Jackson Koivun is a PGA Tour winner in three starts and needs time to see where he goes
Koivun shot 61 and 66 to win by three strokes, becoming the latest young pro to break through on the PGA Tour.
- On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Jackson Koivun won the 3M Open in Blaine, Minn., with a three-shot victory in his third professional start. His bogey-free weekend demonstrated remarkable poise.
- Before turning professional, the Auburn standout won six college events and swept major awards. He recorded three straight top-10 PGA Tour finishes last year without appearing overwhelmed.
- Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker is considering Koivun as a captain's pick for September. The rookie moved into strong FedEx Cup position following his victory at the 3M Open.
- Historical precedent suggests selecting raw talent works: Jordan Spieth earned a 2013 Presidents Cup pick at age 19, and Ludvig Aberg thrived in team competition early in his career. Such experiences build comfort in high-stakes environments.
- The career trajectory of Matthew Wolff serves as caution: though he won the 3M Open in his third start in 2019, he struggled with expectations within six months and eventually departed professional golf. Professional success requires a wide lens.
