Former John A. Logan College golfer Marcelo Rozo earned his PGA Tour card Sunday, finishing tied for second at the PGA Tour Q School Finals with a closing-round 69 to secure one of five available spots on golf’s top circuit.
Rozo, who competed for John A. Logan College from 2009-10, delivered the strong final round at TPC Sawgrass to clinch his place on the PGA Tour after years of persistence on golf’s developmental tours.
A native of Bogota, Colombia, Rozo helped lead the Volunteers to their first national championship in 2009 at Goose Pond Colony Golf Course in Scottsboro, Alabama. He followed that performance by winning the individual national title in 2010 as a sophomore, when Logan finished second at the national tournament in Mesa, Arizona.
After two standout seasons at Logan, Rozo transferred to Lynn University and turned professional in 2012. He has since won three times on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica and has competed on the Korn Ferry Tour since 2019.
Rozo’s path was not without setbacks. An injury sidelined him for part of the 2022-23 season, but he remained focused on his long-held goal of reaching the PGA Tour.
That outcome came as no surprise to his former coach, Tom Ferris, a retired Hall of Fame coach at John A. Logan College.
“I had the pleasure of coaching some great golfers during my time at JALC, but Marcelo was simply the best, and the best ball striker I have ever seen at any level,” Ferris said. “I knew he would make it to the tour, and despite injury and a tough journey, he is there, and I could not be happier for him. He is just a great person.”
With his performance at Q School Finals, Rozo now takes the next step in a professional career defined by resilience and steady success, earning his place among the game’s elite. He is the first John A. Logan College golfer to reach the PGA Tour, joining former Vol Matthew Southgate, who is a member of the DP World Tour.
