With both a fall and spring season, college golfers have ample time and opportunities to improve their game and subsequently their ranking.
As men’s and women’s teams across U.S. prepare for the start of the 2022-23 season, Golfweek has teamed up with Rapsodo to show just how much a player can improve over the course of a college golf season with the inaugural Most Improved Players powered by Rapsodo. The award winners were decided by using the Golfweek/Sagarin Men’s Collegiate Individual Rankings to determine which player improved the most by percentage from the 2020-21 season to the 2021-22 season.
Chris Gotterup, who transferred to Oklahoma from Rutgers for his final year of college golf, had a standout senior season that saw him rise from No. 136 to No. 1 of the rankings, an impressive 99.26 percent improvement. The New Jersey native won the Haskins Award and was named Golfweek’s Men’s Player of the Year thanks to a pair of victories at the East Lake Cup and Puerto Rico Classic as well as top-five finishes in six events, including a second place showing at the Big 12 Championship and T-5 at the NCAA Championship. Gotterup finished the year with an impressive 63-26-3 record against the top 25.
