The Jackson T. Stephens Cup (The JTS Cup) today announced its official sponsor lineup for the 2025 tournament, Stephens, Workday, and Old National Bank. The tournament will take place September 15-17 at Shoreacres in Lake Bluff, Illinois. Entering its fifth year, the tournament continues to build on its reputation the premier event in collegiate golf. Support from key partners plays a critical role in delivering a world-class championship experience while reinforcing the tournament’s commitment to excellence, integrity, and the development of amateur golf.

Stephens, the presenting partner since the event’s inception in 2021, continues its foundational role in shaping the Jackson T. Stephens Cup’s identity and impact. Founded in 1933 and headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, Stephens is a privately held, independent financial services firm. The firm was co-founded by Jackson (Jack) T. Stephens, whom the tournament honors, and it continues to be owned, and run by the Stephens family. The company’s enduring support of The JTS Cup underscores both its namesake’s devotion to the game and the belief that competitive amateur golf fosters the same leadership qualities intrinsic to Stephens’ culture.

Workday, the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, returns as an official partner. In 2025, Workday will once again serve as the presenting sponsor of the welcome reception, which sets the tone for a week centered on sportsmanship and competition. The event brings together players, coaches, and tournament partners for an evening that celebrates championship play and the values that define The JTS Cup.

Old National Bank joins the tournament as a new official partner. Founded in 1834, Old National is a regional bank with deep midwestern roots and a passion for strengthening and supporting the communities where its team members live and work. As the Presenting Sponsor of the College-Am, Old National will also host the Old National Bank Chalk Talk, a new, private event that brings together women in finance, business, and the golf industry. This gathering will culminate in a viewing of the Women’s Match Play Finals, celebrating both competitive excellence and community connection.
