The third annual 54-hole, individual and team stroke-play tournament features golfers from Ball State, Boise, Bowling Green, California-Santa Barbara, California State–Fullerton, California State-Northridge, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia State, Gonzaga, Hawaii-Hilo, Hawaii-Manoa (host), Houston, Kansas, Long Beach State, Louisiana State, Loyola Marymount, Minnesota, North Carolina-Wilmington, North Florida, Oklahoma, Sacramento State, South Carolina and Texas-San Antonio.

“There’s an amazing field of players again this year,” says Sutee Nitakorn, PGA Head Golf Professional at Ka’anapali Golf Courses. “With 2014 team champion Oregon returning and Team Oklahoma and Georgia’s Zach Healey defending their titles, the competitive spirit will be in high gear.”

Oklahoma hoisted the 2015 Team Trophy propelled by freshman, Brad Dalke finishing second place overall, and most of its players return to Ka’anapali this year. Oregon, which dominated the inaugural tournament in 2014 with a 33-under par 819, will also challenge this year’s title. America’s No.1 ranked team, the Ducks set NCAA records on Day 1 in 2014, posting a 30-under par 254 for the lowest single-round score in relation to par and total strokes.
