The St Andrews Links Collegiate takes place at St Andrews’ Jubilee Course and the Home of Golf, the Old Course.
The inaugural tournament was in 2023, but it immediately gained prestige thanks to its TV coverage and the renowned venues where the action unfolded.
Here are some of the essential details about the high-profile event.
St Andrews Links Collegiate Format
The St Andrews Links Collegiate is held over three days and features men’s and women’s teams from four universites competing in two days of strokeplay at the Jubilee Course followed by one day of match play at The Old Course.
Four universities are invited, with each providing teams of six men and six women. In the inaugural tournament in 2023, Georgetown, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt were invited to appear to recognize their significant contributions to collegiate golf.
Back then North Carolina won the women’s team title with Kayla Smith from the university taking the individual honors. Vanderbilt won the men’s team title with the university's Jackson van Paris taking the men's individual title.
