Panther golf alum Jordan Weber wins NEXT Golf Tour season finale

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — After one of the most successful careers in UNI men's golf history, 2008 UNI graduate Jordan Weber continued his passion for the game of golf in a much different way than he had ever imagined. The only Panther golfer to qualify for the NCAA Regional Tournament, Weber turned to the pro golf circuit after graduation.

After a couple brief stints on some smaller tours after graduation, Weber found a love for simulator golf and went on to play in the NEXT Golf Tour, a tournament played on Trackman Simulator software. The NEXT Tour exists to "help provide elite players an opportunity to earn income and develop their brands as professional golfers, create a tech-forward environment that encourages serious competition, entertainment and fun engagement and to serve as a supplement to established pro golf tours."

Weber claimed the top spot on the season finale of the NEXT Tour in late March and topped the Order of Merit, which included a hefty pay out as well as three Challenge Tour exemptions and a start on the DP World Tour this summer, two of the top-tier professional tours in Europe.

A four-year member of the UNI men's golf team, Weber graduated in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in marketing.
