July 17, 2024 | Men's Golf
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State head men's golf coach Dusty Smith released the Bulldogs' 2024-25 schedule on Wednesday. State will host two events for the second straight season.
In the fall, MSU will again partner with Southern Miss and Ole Miss to host the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational in Biloxi, Mississippi. That event will tee off on Oct. 19 from the Fallen Oak Golf Course at Beau Rivage Resort. In the spring, State's home course will once again welcome the Bulldogs for the Mossy Oak Collegiate at Mossy Oak Golf Club in West Point. That will close the regular season for MSU on April 14-15.
"We have put together a great schedule that will test us and challenge us with the main goal being to prepare us for postseason play," Smith said. "We look forward to the upcoming season."
The Bulldogs open the season on Sept. 6-8 at the Visit Knoxville Collegiate in Loudon, Tennessee. That is the same event where they opened the 2023-24 campaign and saw Hunter Logan claim individual medalist honors. Later that month, State will make its first appearance at the Valero Texas Collegiate in San Antonio, Texas. Played on the same course at TPC San Antonio as the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open, the event offers the individual champion an invitation into the spring's PGA Tour event.
For the third year in a row and the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Bulldog men and women will compete side-by-side at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational on Sept. 30-Oct. 2 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Both teams were runners-up in last year's event.
Following the winter break, State returns to play on Feb. 17-19 at the Watersound Invitational in Panama City Beach, Florida. State used the same tournament as its first team event of the spring in 2024. The Bulldogs then return to the Desert Mountain Collegiate after a year away on March 8-9. State won the event in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2023 and 2019. Garrett Johnson and Ruan Pretorius were the individual champions in 2023 and 2019, respectively.
Remaining in Arizona, MSU will play at the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate for the first time the following week in Tucson, Arizona. The Thunderbirds will tee off on March 17.
Previously in its history, Vanderbilt's Mason Rudolph Championship was a fall tournament, but it moved to the spring during the 2021-22 season. In 2024, it will be State's penultimate event on April 4-6 before returning home to play at Mossy Oak. The last time MSU played the Mason Rudolph Championship, it finished fourth.
The SEC Championships return to St. Simons Island, Georgia, with stroke play beginning on April 23. Match play for the top eight teams will begin on April 26 with the champion being crowned on April 27.
