At the June 2, 2026 City Council Meeting, the Yuma City Council approved a proclamation honoring Yuma native Steve Jones and designating June 15–22, 2026, as "Steve Jones Week" in the City of Yuma.

Raised in Yuma, Steve excelled as a student-athlete before attending the University of Colorado and launching a successful professional golf career. Throughout his career, he earned eight PGA Tour victories, overcame significant challenges through determination and perseverance, and brought national recognition to his hometown.

The proclamation recognizes Steve's outstanding accomplishments, sportsmanship, and the pride he has brought to the City of Yuma. His success continues to inspire athletes and residents of all ages, demonstrating what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and resilience.

Please join the City of Yuma in congratulating Steve Jones on the 30th anniversary of his U.S. Open Championship and thanking him for being an exceptional ambassador for our community.
