Auburn Tiger's Jackson Koivun wins 2024 Phil Mickelson Award, just days after bagging the Fred Haskins Award

Jackson Koivun and the Auburn Tigers had a successful NCAA Men's Golf Championship 2024. At the event held in La Costa, the Tigers beat Florida State to win the first National title in school history. While J.M. Butler from Auburn was crucial in the final match, Koivun also made a name for himself in the tournament.

After the conclusion of the 2024 NCAA Men's Golf Championship, it was announced that Koivun is the recipient of the 2024 Phil Mickelson Award. For those unaware, the Phil Mickelson Award is presented to the top freshman in the nation. Hence, receiving the award is a big deal for the young player.

This award won by Koivun is the third award he has won in the last two weeks. Before winning the 2024 Phil Mickelson Award, Jackson Koivun was presented with the Ben Hogan Award last week. On Tuesday, he won the Heisman Trophy of College Golf and the Fred Haskins Award.

Many believe the Auburn Tigers golfer also has a good chance of winning the Nicklaus Award next week. Whether Jackson Koivun can win that award or not, he has already had a very successful season, and looking back on it, he will be extremely proud of it.
