Tag: Haskins Award Watch List

As the fall season winds to a close, it’s time to recognize players who set themselves apart as frontrunners in men’s college golf over the past two and a half months. Perhaps none accomplished that quite like RJ Manke, the Pepperdine transfer who is running wild for his new Washington Huskies with two wins, two runners-up finishes and a T-3 in five events this fall. There are plenty of talented men, however, on his heels.

The Haskins Award honors the player of the year in college men’s golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media. The players are listed alphabetically. Players on the Haskins Award Watch List were selected by a panel of Golfweek and Golf Channel writers.

The COVID-19 pandemic rocked the 2020-21 college golf schedule, with some schools and conferences electing not to compete in the fall.

Play has largely returned across the nation this spring, and just like the weather outside, the race for the Haskins Award is starting to heat up. A handful of players have stood out as front-runners for the Haskins Award, which honors the player of the year in college men’s golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media.

Haskins Award Watch List

The 2019-20 college golf season was unique to say the least.

The coronavirus pandemic forced the NCAA to cancel all spring and winter championships, making what might’ve been a season to remember one we’ll never forget, for all the wrong reasons.

Despite the lack of an adequate finale, there is some good news for college golfers. The NCAA granted another year of eligibility to all spring athletes, and despite the shortened season the Haskins Award Presented by Stifel is still being given to the player of the year in college men’s golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media. Voting runs April 7-21 on the award’s website with the winner earning an exemption to the 2020 Military Tribute at the Greenbrier.

Players are listed alphabetically.
