The winner will be chosen through a selection committee made up of more than 30 leaders from the worlds of collegiate, amateur, and professional golf.

A native of Cambridge, England, Clemons was recognized for his impressive accomplishments during the fall season, which saw him compete in all four events, completing 12 rounds, and finishing ranked second on the team with a stroke average of 71.67.

Clemons also posted an average of +0.92 vs. par, had six rounds of par or better, and logged four rounds in the 60s.

To add to his accomplishments, Clemons posted a standout performance at the Folds of Honor Collegiate as he claimed medalist honors with a 9-under-par 204.

This included three rounds in the 60s (69-66-69), which was good enough to earn him Southeastern Conference Golfer of the Week honors and made him the first Alabama golfer to win in his debut tournament since Justin Thomas in 2011.

Clemons has also made waves in the amateur golf world after his 2024 win at the Scottish Men’s Open Championship at Muirfield, where he secured a 17-shot victory over 144 amateur golfers from 24 nations.
