In 2003, Jaacob Bowden was living in Kansas City working as a computer engineer in the corporate world. Uninspired in his daily work and realizing that playing golf gave him tremendous satisfaction, Jaacob traded in his corporate career to pursue the dream of becoming a Professional Golfer. This journey has since taken Jaacob from being an average golfer who typically drove the ball 220-275 to scratch golfer and long-drive champion.
While Jaacob's long-term goal is to play on the PGA Tour and European PGA Tour, he has made considerable strides in a relatively short amount of time. He won the Pinnacle Distance Challenge with a televised drive of 381 yards and recently hit a grid-record 421 drive at a RE/MAX World Long Drive Local Qualifier in Temecula, California. He has also played in and made cuts in numerous professional tournaments in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
