DO YOU WANT TO PLAY COLLEGE GOLF?
ABOUT COLLEGE GOLF RECRUITING
College golf offers athletes the opportunity to play against high-level competition while also studying at a University. There are many levels of college golf and the highest can be a pathway to the pro tour where you may have a chance to play in a PGA (WPGA Tour for women) Tour tournament like the US Open!
College golf is a popular and competitive NCAA sport with many international players on college rosters. With all the international competition it is very important that student-athletes get noticed by college coaches earlier in the recruiting process.
College golf is played at all collegiate levels, so you need to determine which program is the best fit for you. . If you want to maximize your exposure and be seen by college coaches you need to create an online recruiting profile with an NCAA verified third party. Your profile allows college coaches to properly assess you as a prospect because it includes all the information they want to see such as your recruiting video, key stats, academic level (GPA) and contact information.

MEN'S GOLF SCHOLARSHIP STATISTICS
The following table numerically summarizes the availability of men's golf scholarships across the United States. Note: This shows the number of maximum scholarships a college can provide. This is called “fully funded”. However, many colleges do not have the maximum and therefore the number of total scholarships can be less than shown in the table. Athletic scholarships at colleges change yearly with increases and decreases, so you cannot fully determine who has available scholarships except by joining a network like ImRecruitable where you can find out directly what is available from the coaches.
