Georgia golf sets PGA Tour record

University of Georgia golf has absolutely dominated professional golf this year.

The Bulldogs lead all colleges with four PGA Tour wins this season, hold 35 titles since 2010 – the most by any school in that time span – and have 10 golfers in this year’s FedExCup Playoffs, the most players from one college to ever qualify for the playoffs in the same season.

Harris English is one of two PGA players to win twice on tour this season and almost secured another win at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational where he was the 54-hole leader before finishing tied for fourth.

Kevin Kisner is the most recent Bulldog to win on tour, securing a playoff victory at the Wyndham Championship last week, the final tournament of the regular season.

Legendary UGA coach Chris Haack, who’s been at the helm since 1996, tweeted his appreciation for his former players.

The 10 former Bulldogs now begin preparations for the playoffs, which starts with the Northern Trust on Aug. 19-22 and ends with the Tour Championship in Atlanta on Sept. 2-5.
