NORMAN, Okla. - In the 2026-27 Preseason Bushnell/Golfweek Division III Coaches' Poll, Bridgewater College men's golf is receiving a national vote ahead of the fall slate announced by the GCAA (Golf Coaches Association of America). 

Last season, the Eagles finished with their highest national ranking in program history with an astounding No. 26 ranking.  

At the No. 1 spot Claremont-Mudd-Scripps received nine first-place votes and 387 points. The Stags won their second national championship by recording the lowest round (15-under 273 final round).  

Three ODAC schools also entered the preseason national coaches' poll as Washington and Lee slotted a No. 8 ranking, Lynchburg a No. 21 ranking, and Guilford with a No. 22 ranking.  

The men begin fall competition on Sept. 5-6 at the Transylvania Fall Invitational in Lexington, Ky.
