NORMAN, Okla. – Eleven Southern Conference men’s golf student-athletes were among those honored Wednesday as in the first wave of Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
 
ETSU led the way for the SoCon with four selections, while Wofford was second with three. Furman and UNCG had two each.
 
A record 614 student-athletes earned the title of All-America Scholar, the most since the award’s inception in 1982. Of the 614 honorees, 376 players were Division I selections. 2020 marks the first year in which sophomores are eligible for the award.
 
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior academically in Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their associate’s degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA. In addition, they must have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 78.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. For 2019-20 only, they must participate in 40 percent of the team’s competitive rounds.
 
A second announcement of Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars that include the second wave of nominations as well as those schools on the quarter system will be announced sometime next month.
