There are more than 1,000 colleges, from Division 1 to NAIA, that give student-athletes an opportunity to compete at the next level. Of the 1,318 schools that offer men’s golf, 972 of them offer athletic scholarships. However, these programs operate on an equivalency method, meaning coaches distribute their funds across multiple athletes, making full-ride scholarships rare. 

​

The average team size being made up of 10 golfers. Only the top five golfers travel to tournaments, and once at the event, the best four compete each day. Therefore, when it comes to offering scholarships, coaches typically recognize the top five to seven athletes on their team.

​

There are 292 Division 1 colleges that offer men’s golf, most being large public universities. From NCAA Division 1 to junior college, there are more than 7,000 women’s golfers competing across 996 teams.
