The postseason is underway in men’s college golf, and after NCAA Regionals concluded Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship field is set for May 24-29 at Omni La Costa’s North Course in Carlsbad, California.
With the championship field set, the race for the Haskins Award is starting to heat up. A handful of players have made their case throughout the season as front-runners for the Haskins Award presented by Stifel, which honors the player of the year in men’s college golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media. And now, the final watch list is here.
If you fit one of the listed criteria above, here’s a link to cast your vote: haskinsfoundation.org.
The players are listed alphabetically. Players on the Haskins Award Watch List were selected by a panel of college golf media, including those from Golfweek.
