WHO IS BOBBY JONES?

The story of Bobby Jones is a landmark in sports history. Though it has been nearly eighty years since Robert T. (Bobby) Jones Jr. captured the Grand Slam (an accomplishment that stands alone still), this golf legend continues to be memorialized today. Bobby Jones is admired for far more than his golf record. The Atlanta native left enduring legacies of character, sportsmanship, intelligence, and charm that span continents.

It is this legacy that the Robert T. Jones Jr. Program seeks to honor through programming that advances scholarship, integrity, and ethical engagement.
