Jason Bohn
Professional

Jason Bohn is a rising star in the world of Professional Golf. Earning his way on to the 2003 Nationwide Tour through Monday-Qualifying, Jason finished T20 in his inaugural event, The Northeast Pennsylvania Classic, and never looked back. He made an impressive 13 cuts out of 17 starts, and garnered 9 top-25 finishes along the way. Jason's success on the Nationwide Tour was just the beginning. He had an outstanding year on the PGA TOUR in 2005; capturing his first Tour win at the BC Open, followed by an impressive stretch of golf where Bohn ended the season 35th on the Official Money List, securing his spot at the 2006 Masters. Jason's background is equally impressive. As a 19-year old, he made a rare hole-in-one in a contest, winning him one-million dollars. Jason immediately put the money "to good use" as he is interested in real estate and securities investments. Additionally, Jason currently holds "title" to the lowest competitive professional round of golf, an amazing 58, on the Canadian Tour's 2001 Bayer Championship. Corporate entertainment and hospitality are Jason's forte. He is charming, outgoing and totally down-to-earth - always looking forward to his Tournament Pro-Am days. Jason truly enjoys the camaraderie and light-hearted competition with his amateur teammates. A native of Pennsylvania, Jason enjoyed golf from an early age, and has a long dreamed of competing at Golf's highest level. He, and his wife of five years, Tewana, work as a team on Jason's career, traveling and making decisions together. They have a young son, Connor and are very active in working with children's charities across the country. Jason is definitely one to watch this year! ACCOMPLISHMENTS PGA Tour Victories 2005 1 - B.C.
