Can anyone chime in on which colleges have produced the most players on the PGA tour? I’m passionate about golf and planning on playing in college, potentially even aiming for the PGA tour someday. This info could help guide my college picks.
Definitely, here are some colleges that have a strong track record of producing professional golfers:
1. Stanford University: Notable PGA tour players from Stanford include Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers. Stanford is known for its excellent golf program and has produced numerous professional golfers.
2. University of Texas at Austin: The university has produced successful PGA tour players such as Jordan Spieth and Tom Kite.
3. Oklahoma State University: They've had many golfers turn professional including Rickie Fowler and Morgan Hoffmann.
4. University of Florida: Players like Billy Horschel and Camilo Villegas graduated from this university.
5. Georgia Tech: Matt Kuchar and many other PGA tour participants attended Georgia Tech.
6. University of Arizona: They've sent golfers like Jim Furyk and Rory Sabbatini to the PGA.
Remember, while these schools have produced a number of PGA pros, the best school for you will be one that uniquely fits your style of play, personality, academic interests, and has a coach who you believe can help you improve. The facilities available to you, how they fit your routine, and how often you can access them is also important. It's recommended to visit different campuses, meet the coaches, and even some players to get a feel for what life may be like at those schools. Good luck with your college search and future golfing career!
