TEE TIME SCHEDULED
The No. 17 Utah Men’s Golf team is set to begin its spring season after a historical fall season that included five tournaments, two first-place team titles, two individual crowns, and five top 5 individual finishes. The Utes will hit the links once again to commence 2025 play on Feb. 13-15 with the John Burns Intercollegiate in Lihue, Hawaii.
