The Jackson T. Stephens Cup is an annual collegiate golf tournament held in memory of the late Augusta National Chairman, Jackson T. Stephens. The event features some of the top NCAA Division I men's and women's teams alongside leading individual players from U.S. military service academies and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The tourney format includes 54 holes of stroke play which determines the team standings and sets the pairings for the final day of 18-hole match play based on those stroke-play results. The event also recognizes the individual 54-hole stroke-play winners upon the completion of that portion of the tournament.
 
Live scoring for the Jackson T. Stephens Cup is available here.
 
ABOUT THE COURSE
The East is the "championship course" and will be the host of 26 events in the first 12 years for the PGA of America which relocated here in 2022. Fields Ranch East stands as the centerpiece of America's most ambitious golf development, representing a new era where championship venues are purpose-built to challenge the world's elite whilst welcoming golfers of every ability.
 
Opened in 2023 and designed by Gil Hanse, the East course uses the broad expanses of the rugged ranch terrain to build a natural course in harmony with the rolling land, winding creeks, and deep gullies. The result is pure championship golf that respects the landscape's natural contours whilst delivering the strategic complexity demanded by major professional tournaments.
 
The course's design anticipates evolution through hosting major championships. The big events being the PGA Championship (2027, 2034), KPMG Women's PGA Championship (2025, 2031), Senior PGA Championship (2023, 2029) and is a potential future Ryder Cup site. Each tournament will refine course setup whilst the underlying architecture remains timelessly challenging.
 
Strategic bunkering creates visual drama whilst maintaining proportional scale across the expansive Texas landscape. The hazards frame landing areas without overwhelming the natural terrain, allowing the property's rolling topography to provide the primary strategic challenges.

ABOUT JACKSON T. STEPHENS
Born in Prattsville, Arkansas, Jackson T. "Jack" Stephens rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential business and philanthropic figures of the 20th century. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy (Class of '47), Jack embodied the values of discipline, service, and perseverance.
 
Upon joining his brother Witt in Little Rock, he helped transform their firm, Stephens, into a national financial institution. Under his leadership, the firm played a key role in the growth of legendary companies like Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt, and became one of the largest investment banking firms outside of Wall Street.
 
But it was golf that captured Jack's heart later in life. He took up the game in his mid-thirties, drawn to its quiet rigor, deep values, and lifelong lessons. In 1962, Jack became a member of Augusta National Golf Club. By 1991, he had risen to become the club's fourth Chairman, overseeing both the Masters Tournament and a new era of global growth for the club.
 
He remained a tireless advocate for youth and amateur golf, contributing a $5 million founding gift to The First Tee, helping introduce the game to new generations. His belief was simple and profound: "Golf is a great teacher in life. The same skills needed to master this game are the same skills needed to master life."
