University of Central Oklahoma College of Business student Reagan Plank was named a PGA WORKS John and Tamara Lundgren Scholar by the PGA of America REACH Foundation for the second consecutive year.

A sophomore PGA golf management major from Owasso, Oklahoma, Plank is a member of the UCO Women's Golf team and is pursuing her degree through Central’s PGA Golf Management program.

The PGA WORKS John and Tamara Lundgren Scholars Program provides scholarships to talented and motivated students from diverse backgrounds pursuing PGA of America membership through one of the 16 accredited PGA Golf Management university programs nationwide. Central is one of only eight universities represented among this year’s scholarship recipients.

“Having Reagan named a PGA WORKS Scholar for a second straight year is a tremendous recognition of her commitment in the classroom and on the golf course,” said Tony Luczak, Ph.D., director of UCO’s PGA Golf Management program.

"She has kept a high GPA while completing her PGM internship work experience requirements and continuing to develop her game. We are very proud of Reagan and can’t wait to see what she does next.”

Plank was among the 20 students chosen. Criteria points were based on academic record, leadership within the school and community activities, honors and work experience, a summary of goals and ambitions, specific personal or family circumstances, an outside appraisal, active participation in golf and playing ability.

UCO is home to Oklahoma’s only PGA-accredited golf management program. The program combines a Bachelor of Business Administration in management with PGA-developed curriculum and required internships at golf courses, giving students both the business knowledge and hands-on experience needed for careers in the golf industry.
