Stifel Launches The Coyne Prize to Recognize Golf Storytellers
16 Mai 2023 - 2:45PM
Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today announced the launch and
its lead sponsorship of The Coyne Prize, an annual award and grant
named after bestselling golf author and podcast host Tom Coyne. The
prize recognizes storytellers who are creating the most compelling
narratives around the game of golf.
Applications are open to all golf writers,
filmmakers, and digital content creators. A panel of golf and
creative industry professionals will decide the winners, who will
be honored at an annual awards dinner hosted by Stifel and receive
a monetary grant and editorial mentorship. While the inaugural 2023
Coyne Prize will focus solely on an amateur creator category (under
$5,000 in lifetime earnings), a professional division will be added
in future years.
“We have become a firm where success meets
success – one that attracts successful individuals and partners,
recognizes up-and-coming successes, and helps others achieve
success,” said David Schick, a Vice Chairman at Stifel, and a
Co-Creator of The Coyne Prize. “By recognizing and celebrating the
best storytelling in golf, The Coyne Prize endeavors to encourage,
promote, and advance the careers of both new and established voices
in the game, and we are proud to be associated with this
effort.”
Mr. Coyne is a renowned and award-winning author of the New York
Times bestsellers A Course Called America, A Course Called Ireland
and A Course Called Scotland, as well as Paper Tiger and the novel
A Gentleman’s Game, which was named one of the best 25 sports books
of all time by The Philadelphia Daily News and later adapted into a
motion picture. Mr. Coyne also serves as a podcast host and senior
editor for The Golfer’s Journal, and has contributed to Golf
Magazine, Golfweek, Sports Illustrated, and The New York Times.
“Storytelling is integral to the appeal of
golf,” said Mr. Coyne. “Good golf stories are as important as good
golf shots when it comes to bringing both elite players and
hobbyists back to the course. I am indebted to the game for giving
me a lifetime of stories to share and am honored to partner with
Stifel to help provide a new wave of golf storytellers with the
tools and support structure needed for success.”
“Tom’s devotion to both the physical and
intellectual elements of golf, together with his strong desire to
promote the next generation of golf storytellers, aligns with our
core principles at Stifel and served as the inspiration for the
launch of The Coyne Prize,” added Nathaniel Stone, a Managing
Director at Stifel and Co-Creator of The Coyne Prize. “We are
thrilled to launch the award and grant in partnership with Tom to
discover and honor new and experienced golf writers and content
creators.”
Stifel has an established history of supporting
golf through professional sponsorships and nonprofit opportunities.
The firm has served as an individual sponsor for several
professional golfers on the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour, as well
as a presenting partner of the telecast of the NCAA Division I
Women’s and Men’s Golf Championships. In addition, Stifel is also a
sponsor of both the ANNIKA Award, which annually recognizes the
most outstanding female collegiate golfer, and the Fred Haskins
award, an achievement that honors the player of the year in college
men’s golf.
