College golf has returned, which means the race to make the NCAA Championship is on.
With that means the stars of college golf are back on campus and battling it out for major awards, victories and more. It also means a new wave of talent has entered the fold and is ready to make its mark on college golf.
There are always talented freshmen who enter the college golf ranks and become a force right away. Look no further than last year, when Auburn’s Jackson Koivun swept the major awards, including the Haskins Award, en route to leading the Tigers to their first national championship in school history.
Now, it’s time to meet the next wave of youngsters in college golf.
Here’s a look at 10 men’s freshmen to watch during the 2024-25 season.

Chantananuwat has been ranked as high as sixth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking during his career and is the top Asian amateur golfer. When he was 15, he won the Asian Tour’s Trust Golf Asian Mixed Cup to become the youngest player ever to win an event on a major professional tour.
