The busy summer amateur season has faded to fall as school’s across the country are back in session, which means college golf is back in season.
It comes as no surprise that defending national champions Pepperdine lead the way on Golfweek’s preseason men’s team rankings for the 2020-21 college golf season seeing as the Waves return all but one starter from last year’s title team. Not only that, head coach Michael Beard was able to keep Blaine Woodruff on staff after the assistant coach garnered attention from other schools looking for a head coach. While they aren’t as deep as last year’s squad, there’s no denying the talent at the top of the roster.
All that said, Pepperdine isn’t the only team with national championship aspirations and expectations this season. Check out the top-30 teams entering the 2020-21 college golf season.
