This is a special opportunity for our student-athletes to get a TOUR-level experience, and we are certainly grateful for the opportunity.

Vanderbilt at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational
Vanderbilt will be seeking its third team title over the last four seasons at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational. The Commodores tied for first at the 2025 event with a score of 10-over 850, and captured first place in 2023, carding 16-under 824.
The Dores have been a mainstay at the TCU-hosted tournament, which has been rebranded three times since its inception in 2014. Vandy has participated in the tournament in 11 of the last 12 seasons, with the lone absence in 2020.
Known as the Nike Collegiate Invitational when TCU co-hosted the tournament with Oregon from 2014-19, on a rotating schedule between Colonial on even years and Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland, Oregon, on odd years. The tournament was renamed the Colonial Collegiate Invitational from 2020-21, when Colonial Country Club became the host course exclusively. Then in 2022, the tournament changed to its current name, with Charles Schwab becoming a sponsor the following year. The tournament was moved to Shady Oaks Country Club in 2023 due to renovations at Colonial.
The Dores have won the team title at the event three times. Vandy captured first place at the Ben Hogan Collegiate in 2023 and 2025 and won the Nike Collegiate Invitational in 2016.
Cole Sherwood, who recently earned his PGA TOUR card, is the lone Commodore to capture the individual title at the Ben Hogan Collegiate, winning in 2023. He was tied for first at 7-under 203 at the end of play, then went on to defeat Christo Lamprecht of Georgia Tech on the first playoff hole. His clutch performance in stroke play simultaneously secured the team title for the Dores and earned him a sponsor exemption into the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge, though he forewent his exemption in favor of playing with Vanderbilt at the 2024 NCAA Championship.
Last Time Out
Vanderbilt had a trio of golfers finish inside the top 20 at the 18th Inverness Intercollegiate, as the Commodores concluded the three-day tournament in a three-way tie for sixth place.
Sophomores Will Hartman and Michael Riebe, along with senior Carlos Astiazaran, each placed in the top 20 at the Inverness Intercollegiate. Hartman tied for sixth with a three-round total of 2-over 215, while Riebe’s 3-over 216 tied him for 12th. Astiazaran’s 54-hole score of 6-over 219 put him in a tie for 19th.
