Morgan EngelTech golf has established itself as a program with national pedigree. Last year was historic – junior Hiroshi Tai won an individual national championship, Tech alum Christo Lamprecht finished second in the PGA Tour University Rankings and the team made it to the semifinals of the national championship. Even with the Jackets being preseason ranked 11th and having the defending national champion, Tech golf is in unprecedented territory. Tech’s roster went down from 11 golfers in 2023-24 to eight this year, with multiple players never having played in a collegiate tournament and no seniors.
