Congratulations to Caitlyn Tasney on receiving the 2024 CFAES Distinguished Senior Award! Caitlyn's a Professional Golf Management major + she's just a few weeks away from graduating.

The Distinguished Senior Award honors top graduating seniors on the Ohio State Columbus campus who exemplify the CFAES mission in areas such as academics and scholarship, research and innovation, service and involvement, and influence and leadership. Only 23 Seniors were selected for this honor - what a great way to cap off her time as an undergrad!

Luckily, Caitlyn had a moment to share a bit about her experiences as an undergrad here at Ohio State...


HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN PROFESSIONAL GOLF MANAGEMENT?

Caitlyn: I have played golf basically my whole life and after trying a couple of other majors at different schools while playing college golf, I realized that I wanted golf to be a part of my life and a part of my career. So, when I transferred to Ohio State and found they had the PGM Program, it was like it was meant to be.

COULD YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A PGM MAJOR?

Caitlyn: My experience as a PGM major has been different. While going to school, I was also working at my internship full time as well. I was always on the go with both work and school, while also making time between both of those to play in the PGM tournament events that were held at OSU Golf Club. I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything as I have made wonderful connections, have met some of my lifelong friends and found my career during this process.
