“Our schedule will challenge our team while putting them in a variety of environments that will prepare us for postseason golf as well,” said head coach Jim Anderson. “Our fall schedule includes two new events for us in Michigan and Florida before our winter and spring that will keep us out west. We are also excited to host our annual home tournaments at Tucson Country Club and Omni Tucson National, which will bring elite college golf to Southern Arizona.”

Arizona returns Chase Sienkiewicz, Chaz Aurilia, Sam Sommerhauser and Johnny Walker from a team that reached the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2011.
