Up next in our 2026 Special Awards spotlight, Mark Williams, PGA!

“Grow the game” is a phrase we hear a lot. Mark is doing something much more meaningful: he’s creating access to golf for kids who might never otherwise have the chance to find it.

Through Clubs Fore Kids and his work with Columbus City Schools, Mark is helping build a pathway toward a future where every CCS high school has a golf team.

The toughest test in the Southern Ohio PGA has brought some of the Section’s biggest names to the top of the leaderboard.

After 36 holes at TPC River’s Bend, defending champion Jared Jones leads Ben Kern and 11-time champion Bob Sowards by one shot heading into the final round of the 81st Southern Ohio PGA Professional Championship.

River’s Bend has asked plenty of questions.

These three have had some pretty good answers.

Our Clubs Fore Kids sessions at Champions Golf Course officially kicked off yesterday, led by Mark Williams, PGA. Building on last year’s incredible momentum, where the Southern Ohio PGA Foundation donated 40+ set of clubs to city high schools, we’re back at it with a massive goal: getting golf played at every single city high school in Columbus.

Over the next three days, 70-80 local student-athletes will hit the course to jump-start their upcoming high school golf season. Huge shoutout to the City of Columbus, our dedicated PGA Professionals, the high school coaches, and most of all the players for making this mission possible. Let’s work!
