Event info, players to watch as college golf’s best compete at The Prestige

Everything you need to know for the 20th playing of men’s college golf’s The Prestige.

Three of the top-10 and six of the top-25 men’s college golf teams in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings will tee it up this week at the 20th playing of The Prestige, Feb. 17-19 in La Quinta, California.

The Greg Norman Course at PGA West plays host once again for the three-day event featuring a field of 16 teams highlighted by No. 1 Pepperdine, No. 6 Texas Tech, No. 7 Texas and No. 15 SMU. Defending national champion Stanford is also in the field, along with 2018 NCAA champion Oklahoma State and host-school UC Davis.

Golfweek will livestream the final-round coverage as part of College Golf Live’s 2020 Spring Series. You can catch the final round action at Golfweek.com/Prestige2020 on Feb. 19 from 1-6 p.m. ET.

PGA Champion, three-time NCAA champion and veteran golf commentator Steve Elkington will call the action alongside ESPN personality Ben Lyons, with analyst Will Haskett delivering onsite coverage.

Here’s everything you need to know for The Prestige.

Where

Greg Norman Course at PGA West, La Quinta, California. Par 71, 7,100 yards.

Schedule

Feb. 17-19. 18 holes each day, beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET off Nos. 1 and 10.

Field

Arkansas, Iowa State, LSU, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Pepperdine, San Diego State, SMU, Stanford, Texas, Texas Tech, UC Davis, UCLA, Wyoming and University of Stirling (Scotland).

Players to watch

Sahith Theegala, senior, Pepperdine

Theegala, ranked No. 2 in the nation, has won twice this season, bringing his collegiate total to four. A fifth win this week at The Prestige would set a new program record. His 69.08 scoring average is tied for sixth best in the country.

Sandy Scott, senior, Texas Tech

The Scottish senior finished 10th in Hawaii at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate to start the Spring, his third top 10 on the season. He won the Red Raiders first event of the year at the Carmel Cup and is 18-12-0 against the top 50 players in the country. Ranked No. 3 by Golfweek/Sagain.

Noah Goodwin, junior, SMU

If it’s a par 5, chances are Goodwin’s making birdie. His 4.40 scoring average on the long holes is T-4 in the nation, and his 3-1 record vs. the top 23 (7-3 vs. the top 50) isn’t too shabby, either.

Pierceson Coody, sophomore, Texas

Former No. 1 Amateur Cole Hammer gets a lot of the headlines, and deservedly so. But Coody should get a fair share, as well. The sophomore has three top 10 – and two top five – finishes this season, including a fifth-place showing last week at the Amer Ari, where he shot 66-67 in the final two rounds. Ranked No. 6 in the country.
