CLEMSON, S.C. — The Clemson University men’s golf team will have a new look to its schedule in 2025-26. Head Coach Jordan Byrd’s Tigers will play nine regular season tournaments, including six events for the firsts time. Including the ACC Tournament, Clemson will play tournaments in seven states, three in South Carolina, two in Florida and one each in Tennessee, Wisconsin, California, Georgia and West Virginia.
Byrd’s team returns five lettermen in Lucas Augustsson, Rich Wills, Justin Burroughs, Thomas Higgins and Colin Salema. The four newcomers are freshmen Jackson Byrd, Samuel Duran, and Tip Price and transfer Oscar Holm-Bredkjaer.
Each of the first four events of the fall will be first time events for the program. Clemson will open the season September 7-9 at the second annual Myrtle Beach Golf Trips Intercollegiate at the Grande Dunes Resort. Coastal Carolina will serve as host of the 16-team tournament.
Clemson teams have played The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. in the NCAA Tournament in the past, but this will be the team’s first regular season tournament at the famed course. The Honors Course was the scene of the 1996 (Tiger Woods was the individual medalist) and 2010 NCAA Championships (Clemson was there for both), the 1991 U.S. Amateur and past Mid-Amateurs and Senior Amateurs.
Clemson’s third tournament in September will be in Columbia, S.C. at the Bryan Brother Collegiate at the Salina Country Club, September 29-30.
The following week, October 5-7, Clemson will travel to Wisconsin for the first time to compete in the Marquette Invitational at Erin Hills. Erin Hills was the site of the 2017 U.S. Men’s Open and the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open. There will be five more USGA events at the course over the next 15 years.
Clemson closes its fall schedule October 24-26 at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate, annually one of the best fields of the fall college season. Clemson will be making its 18th appearance at this tournament. Clemson won it twice when it was a spring tournament in 2006 and 2009.
Clemson opens the spring season with a fifth first-time tournament. The Tigers will head west to La Quinta, Calif. for The Prestige, a tournament held Feb. 16-18 at the Greg Norman Course at PGA West. The course will challenge all the collegians with its 102 bunkers and nine holes where water comes into play.
Clemson will open March at The John Hayt Intercollegiate at Sawgrass Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla. It will be Clemson’s third appearance at this tournament. Clemson won the team championship here in the spring of 2021 with a 19-under-par team score.
Clemson will make its sixth appearance at The Hootie at Bulls Bay Golf Club in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., March 21-23. It will be Clemson’s first appearance at Bulls Bay since 2013. The Tigers close the regular season in the state of West Virginia for the first time. Clemson will compete in the Mountaineer Invitational at the Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport, W.V.
The April 23-27 ACC Tournament will be held in Panama City, Fla. at Sharks Tooth Golf Club. Clemson has competed in the Watersound Invitational at Sharks Tooth each of the last four years so there will be some familiarity with the course for the Tiger veterans. The last time the ACC held its championship at Sharks Tooth, current PGA Tour professional Jacob Bridgeman won the individual ACC Championship.
The NCAA Regional tournaments will be held May 18-20, 2026. The sites include Athens, Ga.; Bermuda Run, N.C.; Bryan, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Corvallis, Ore. and Marina, Ariz. The NCAA Championship will be held at Carlsbad, Calif. for the third-straight year.
