ABOUT THE TOPS
- WKU's lineup will be Trevor Drew, Rafe Blankenship, Ethan Smith, Will Easterlin and Barton Rutledge and Gage Doyle.
- 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.
THE FIELD (14 TEAMS)
WKU will be joined in the field by host Iowa along with Evansville, Chicago State, Valparaiso, Western Illinois, Creighton, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Green Bay, Bradley, South Dakota, Omaha and Eastern Illinois.
