Former Valpo men's golf student-athlete Mason Bonn has returned to the program as an assistant coach in 2024-25.

A native of Sherwood, Ore., Bonn was a two-time MVC Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention choice during his time playing in the program.

As a senior in 2023-24, Bonn posted a 75.74 scoring average while golfing 19 rounds over seven spring tournaments after missing the fall season with an injury. He finished his collegiate career with a scoring average of 75.86 that ranked 10th in modern program history.

Bonn golfed exactly 100 collegiate rounds, the last of which came on his 22nd birthday on May 19 at the National Golf Invitational. He turned in a season-low 69 (-3) in the second round of the Dorado Beach Collegiate on Feb. 26. A team captain as a senior, Bonn earned Valparaiso University Presidential Academic honors throughout his collegiate career.

As a junior in 2022-23, Bonn attained a top-5 finish at t-5 of 99 at the Valpo Fall Invitational (Sept. 19-20) with a 54-hole score of 216 (E).
