Kentucky men's golf releases 2026-27 schedule with home tournament in fall
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The University of Kentucky men's golf team has announced its complete schedule for the upcoming 2026-27 season, featuring 10 regular season events spread across fall and spring competitions along with postseason opportunities.
Head coach Gator Todd's squad will begin play at the Visit Knox Collegiate on August 31 at Fox Den Country Club in Tennessee, marking the second consecutive year the Wildcats have opened their season at that event. The schedule includes five fall tournaments and five spring tournaments before postseason play.
Highlighting the schedule is the third annual Cullan Brown Collegiate, hosted by Kentucky at Lexington Country Club on October 5-6. The tournament honors the late Cullan Brown, a member of the men's golf team from 2018-20 and a 2019 All-SEC Freshman Team selection who died of bone cancer in 2020 at age 20. The Wildcats finished as runner-up in the tournament last season.
"It is a familiar competition slate for Kentucky overall, with the Cats participating in seven of the same regular season tournaments as the 2025-26 season," according to the official announcement. The 10 regular season tournaments will take the team to nine different states.
Other fall events include the Bearcat Invitational at Coldstream Country Club on September 14-15, the Windon Memorial Classic at Onwentsia Country Club on September 28-29, and the Williams Cup at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, North Carolina on October 18-20.
The spring schedule begins with the Watersound Invitational on February 15-17 and includes the Colleton River Collegiate on March 7-8, which Kentucky won last season. The regular season concludes with the Mason Rudolph Championship on April 2-4 and the Mountaineer Invitational on April 12-13.
The Southeastern Conference Championship will be held April 21-25 at Sea Island Golf Club's Seaside Course. NCAA Regionals follow on May 17-19, with the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa from May 28 to June 2.
Kentucky is coming off an NCAA Regional appearance last season, the program's first since 2022. The team won twice in 2025-26, marking the first season with multiple team wins since 2017-18. Todd's roster returns six of eight players from last year while adding freshman Bradford Lacefield and Gabriel Hull, a transfer from Emmanuel University.
