With all the talk about the future of college golf and programs possibly getting cut, one is being reinstated after more than 20 years of being gone.
Eastern Washington announced its reinstating its men’s golf program for the 2025-26 season.
The Eagles made their debut in the 1960s playing in NAIA before moving to Division II in the 1980s. After a 10-year hiatus from 1982 to 1992, the men’s program returned, with the addition of the women’s team, and played through 2001-02.
Now, the men’s team is returning.
“As a regional comprehensive university, we felt it was important to sponsor a sport that strengthens our connection to our community and future prospective students at EWU,” said Tim Collins, the EWU Director of Athletics, in a release. “We have a great opportunity to build a roster featuring student-athletes from the Pacific Northwest and reconnect with our golf alumni as we rebuild the program alongside the women’s team which has been active for 32 years.”
Eastern Washington will compete in regional tournaments that fulfill NCAA Division I sport sponsorship requirements.
