As ThePLAYERS Championship hits Jacksonville this week, we’re taking the Alumni Spotlight to the links. You may have read Christian’s spotlight last year, but it’s time we invited his younger brother Preston Edwards (’16) to the par-tee.

As the 3rd of the Edwards children to make it to The Nest, it wasn’t too hard of a decision for PrestonEdwards_7 to stay close to home. Like the rest of the family, he grew up around sports and stuck with it throughout his college career, working for UNFOspreys and the Jaguars. He earned his degree in Sport Management from UNFCOEHS along w/ a business administration minor. After graduation, he was offered a communications position with the Carolina Panthers fresh off a Super Bowl appearance, so he packed his bags and moved up to Charlotte.

The demand from the media was at an all-time high for the Panthers, so Preston was immediately positioned to work with several high-profile athletes to help maximize local and national coverage. Over the next 5 years, he worked his way up to communications coordinator, handling player interview requests, media guides and press conferences, while also working specialty events such as the NFLDraft, Super Bowls and even the launch of the city’s new MLS expansion club.

After 6 seasons in Carolina, Edwards got a call about an open position close to home at the PGATOUR, serving a similar communications role on the KornFerryTour. After originally joining the TOUR as a communications specialist, a position held for 2 years, he was promoted to his current role as manager of communications for the PGA Tour Pathways.

Edwards loves being able to travel to various places where tournaments are hosted, while working with the golfers as they pursue the goal of reaching the PGA TOUR. OspreysMGolf alumnus phil_knowles_19 is one of the many golfers he worked with as he earned his PGA Tour card in 2022.

The job keeps him busy, but he enjoys his role and wants to continue contributing to the growth of this organization. Plus, he’s close to home and able to spend his free time with the family!
