Jackson T. Stephens, affectionately known as Jack, was an extraordinary man. He was an astute investor, philanthropist, sportsman, and avid golfer. Jack discovered his love for golf later in life, at the age of 36, and went on to serve as the fourth Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club from 1991 to 1998.
Jack was drawn to the principles of golf and the valuable life lessons it taught him. He believed that success in both golf and life required qualities such as character, discipline, and dedicated practice.
The Jackson T. Stephens Cup tournament was created in honor of Jack. The tournament’s goal is to provide a distinctive and highly competitive collegiate event on some of the country’s premier golf courses, with the participation of future PGA TOUR and LPGA stars.
