SPARTANBURG, S.C.- Head coach Todd Lawton reveals the USC Upstate Men's Golf schedule for Fall 2026. Coming off of a Big South Runner Up placement in the spring, the Spartans look to continue their strong performance with a stacked fall slate.
Â
Lawton has high expectations for his squad this season, "Our schedule is a good mix with high-level competition. Hosting twice in the fall is a lot of work, but worth it because it gives us an opportunity to play a lot of players and see what we are capable of competitively, especially after our successful spring. Our mix of new faces and experienced Spartans will give us the opportunity to compete across the board."
Â
Beginning the season in state, Upstate will play in the Golfweek Fall Challenge from September 6-8 in Pawley's Island, S.C. Senior Alec Prentice, finished in the top 25 of last year's event, with three Spartans finishing under par in round one of the tournament.
Â
Heading back to Birmingham, A.L., the Spartans will once again participate in the GMAC Invitational hosted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham from September 20-22.
Â
For the final two tournaments of the fall season, USC Upstate will play host in both of them. Firstly, from September 27-28, the Spartans will host The Carolina Cup at The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg. The Spartans will close out the fall campaign in Fripp Island, S.C., hosting the Fripp Island Intercollegiate from October 23-25.
