Two massive changes to the college golf landscape will occur over the next year and a half:
1. Five-for-five being instituted for all NCAA sports, will give a fifth year to non-redshirt athletes.
2. PGA Tour is moving to a two-tier system in 2028, with smaller field and no sponsor exemptions for the top tier. Article
Very interested to see how the next few months go, and what the PGA U does in response to these changes. Plus I wonder how many seniors will go pro after this year (I'm guessing not many).

Is there NIL money available for our golfers?
Another deep team. I would say Max, Dane, Trey and Freddie would be the top 4 and a fight between Ethan and Jake for the 5th spot. I hope last year will motivate them to reach the final 8.
Freddie had a tough round in the Amatuer. 14 over. Trey is 2 over and Max is 2 under. Hopefully Trey and Max can take the final 18 holes and qualify to match play.
