Omni La Costa is hosting the NCAA mens and womens golf championships for a second year in a row. The North Course’s 15th hole is a challenging par 4.
Florida State junior Luke Clanton won the 2025 Ben Hogan Award, it was announced Monday.
The annual award – which honors the top men’s college golfer based on collegiate, amateur and professional events over the previous 12 months – was announced Monday at a dinner at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. other finalists included North Carolina senior David Ford and Auburn sophomore Jackson Koivun, who won the Hogan in 2024.
Clanton won four times collegiately this season, including last week at the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. His best performances came in PGA Tour events, though, where he has made 10 of 13 cuts in the past year, finishing runner-up twice. Clanton earned his PGA Tour card earlier this year through PGA Tour University Accelerated when he made the cut at his hometown event, the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. His first start as a pro will be next month at the RBC Canadian Open.
Clanton was voted the winner by a selection committee made up of nearly three dozen leaders and experts in college, amateur and professional golf. In addition, all past award winners were eligible to vote in the final round, casting a ballot to rank the three finalists.
He is one of 10 finalists for the Haskins Award, which will be announced next Tuesday. The Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel is given to the Player of the Year in men’s college golf.
