Hello my name is William Partner, I am fundraising to try and make my next step in my golfing career. I am a 19 year old golfer looking to take my ability to America to go to play and study at Columbus State University, it is a top 10 NCAA Division 2 University that has a
great golf facilities on campus and golf courses surrounding the area that we have free rein to play all year round. I would be competing in tournaments throughout against great competition and a great opportunity to become a better all round golfer. I have had the privilege of playing elite amateur golf over the last 2 years and have proved that I can be great !! The next steps for me are very important. A few things about what I have achieved in my golfing career so far and what my goals are for the future:
WILLIAM PARTNER – GOLF PROFILE 2025
Full-Time Elite Amateur Golfer | Age 19 | +4.2 Handicap
OWGR 3760 | England
Pursuing the most aligned path toward future professional golf on the DP World & PGA Tours
- Journey & Pathway
I am a full-time elite amateur golfer, my journey has blended early ambition in sport, rapid improvement, and mature decision-making. After initially considering U.S. collegiate golf as a route, my performance trajectory accelerated to the point where, in early 2025, I seriously contemplated turning professional.
I began the year competing on the Portugal Pro Tour, earning a T-3rd
finish at Morgado,
Despite this momentum, i made the intentional decision to remain
amateur—committing to a full season of elite amateur golf across the UK.
My goal is clear: to grow through the right challenges, aligned with long-
term success, readiness, and maturity.
- Character & Mindset
Built on faith, discipline, and emotional resilience—i embrace golf as a test of heart as much as skill. My maturity comes from working through adversity with clarity, not control. I train whole not just technically, believing the mental and emotional layers are what truly separate champions from competitors.

I would be very grateful for any contributions,
thank you.
