“We are incredibly excited to return to this prestigious event,” said head coach Jim Anderson. “This is one of the top events in college golf, and it creates a postseason-type of atmosphere for our team to compete in. Our guys have had a great couple weeks of practice since the Fighting Illini Invitational, and we are all eager to get back out there and post more great scores.”
Arizona’s competition in the field of this year’s Stephens Cup will include Arkansas, Florida State, LSU, San Diego State, SMU and Stanford. The Wildcats participation in the event in 2021 was at the Alotian Club in Roland, Arkansas.
