Peter Jacobsen represents everything a professional athlete and committed community leader should be. Through the years he has used his talents and status to transcend the game of golf and touch the lives of many. He’s a fierce competitor, consummate entertainer, community leader, passionate executive and a caring family man.

A 30-year veteran on the PGA TOUR, and a three-year member of the Champions Tour, Peter has established himself as the unofficial ambassador of golf. He has served as a Player Director on the PGA TOUR, a golf commentator on ABC-TV, a television analyst for The Skins Game, and a roving reporter for the 1991 Ryder Cup matches on NBC. His TV shows Peter and Friends and Peter Jacobsen Plugged In, which ran for three seasons each on The Golf Channel, were a huge success. Peter has authored two books, “Buried Lies: True Tales and Tall Stories From the PGA TOUR,” published in 1993 and “Embedded Balls,” published in 2005. On TOUR, he represents several companies and products including Titleist, Lexus, JELD-WEN, Aleve and Ketel One.

Peter is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Peter Jacobsen Sports (PJS), a sports marketing and event management firm. Peter has been a loyal and fierce advocate of keeping the tradition of golf alive and well in his home state of Oregon. PJS produced the popular Fred Meyer Challenge, 1986-2002; the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open at Pumpkin Ridge in North Plains, Ore.; and currently produces the JELD-WEN Tradition, the final major on the Champions Tour schedule, at Crosswater Golf Club in Sunriver. Since 1988, Peter’s company has produced nearly 250 events and has expanded outside of Oregon and now has offices across the country.

Peter’s business acumen also extends to golf course design. He co-designed The Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, Ore.; Genoa Lakes Golf Club and Resort in Lake Tahoe, Nev.; Blackhorse Golf Club in Cypress, Texas; and continues golf course design as a principal of the Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design Company based in Houston, Texas.
