Golf programs return to Southern Wesleyan University

March 22, 2024 by SC Independent Colleges & Universities

CENTRAL, S.C. (courtesy swu.edu) — Southern Wesleyan University (SWU) is proud to announce the reinstatement of Men’s and Women’s Golf as NCAA sports, a significant decision that marks a return to the university’s commitment to providing comprehensive athletic opportunities for its students.

In a move to enhance the overall student-athlete experience, SWU is reversing the decision made in 2021 to cut the Men’s and Women’s Golf programs. The reinstatement demonstrates the university’s dedication to fostering a well-rounded and competitive athletic program that aligns with its mission to develop the whole person—intellectually, socially, and spiritually.

To spearhead this exciting initiative, SWU plans to hire a head coach during the upcoming summer. The selected coach will be granted a year to assemble and prepare the teams for competition, focusing on recruiting talented student-athletes and ensuring that all aspects of the program are in place for a successful launch. The Men’s and Women’s Golf teams are scheduled to begin official competition in the Fall of 2025.
