ABOUT THE TOPS
- WKU's lineup will be Trevor Drew, Rafe Blankenship, Will Easterlin, Colton Woosley, Gage Doyle and Ethan Smith (will be playing as an individual).
- To open the 2026-27 season, the Hilltoppers played in the ANF Fall Classic. WKU claimed second place in the tournament with a 13-under score as a team. Gage Doyle tied for second place with an 8-under score for the tournament. WKU had four place in the top 10 with Trevor Drew, Will Easterlin and Rafe Blankenship tying for seventh place.
- The Hilltoppers return the entire 2025-26 team and bring in two newcomers to the mix – Barton Rutledge and Connor Woosley.
- Last season, WKU had seven top 10 finishes out of 11 tournaments played. This included two third place finishes at the Furman Intercollegiate and the Austin Peay Intercollegiate and a sixth-place finish at the Conference USA Championship, the best finish for the Hilltoppers since joining the league.
- On the individual side, it was a well-balanced effort with five different golfers leading the team at some point throughout the season. Gage Doyle led the team in four tournaments and Rafe Blankenship led the Hilltoppers in three.
