The annual award is given to the top men’s NCAA college golfer.
FORT WORTH, Texas – Florida men’s golfers Ian Gilligan and Jack Turner were selected to the 2025 Ben Hogan Award Watch List, Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf (FOG) and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced Wednesday.
The Ben Hogan Award annually awards the top men’s NCAA Division I, II or III, NAIA or NJCAA college golfer based on all collegiate, amateur and professional events over the previous 12 months.
Florida is one of nine schools to have two golfers on the watch list. The last time a Gator won the award was in 2006 by Matt Every.
An esteemed selection committee votes during each stage of the process. The selection committee is comprised of more than 30 leaders in collegiate, amateur and professional golf.
This year’s list of 10 semifinalists, which could include individuals not on the watch list, will be unveiled Thursday, April 17. That group will be pared down to three finalists on Tuesday, May 6. The finalists will attend a black-tie dinner Monday, May 19, at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where the winner will be crowned.
