It was just three months ago that Florida knocked off Georgia Tech to win the NCAA Championship.
Now, believe it or not, college golf is back.
To help tee things up for the upcoming season, Golfweek is once again partnering with Bushnell to bring you the men’s college golf coaches polls.
This is the preseason poll as we set the table for 2023-24. The polls will be released once a month after that for all the divisions.
Div. I
The North Carolina Tar Heels are the top team in Div. I in the Golfweek/Bushnell 2023-24 men’s college golf preseason coaches poll.
UNC received five first-place votes and 444 overall points. Arizona State (two first-place votes), Vanderbilt (five first-place votes), NCAA runnerup Georgia Tech and Florida State (one first-place vote) round out the top five. Defending champ Florida checks in at No. 8 but received five first-place votes.
