PROVO, Utah – Golfweek Magazine released its 2025-26 men’s golf preseason rankings on Wednesday, with BYU ranked at No. 12.
Entering his 34th year at the helm, head coach Bruce Brockbank looks to lead his team back to the NCAA Championship for the fourth time in the last five seasons after finishing 13th last May. BYU Director of Golf, Todd Miller, will be alongside Brockbank for his 21st season with the Cougars.
BYU took home three wins as a team during the 2024-25 season at the Big 12 Match Play, Arizona N.I.T., and the NCAA Reno Regional. The Cougars finished in the top five in nine of 13 events last season, leading to a No. 19 final ranking on the Clippd Scoreboard’s national rankings.
Key returners from last season’s most used lineup are seniors Simon Kwon and Tyson Shelley, with junior Peter Kim also returning.
Incoming freshman Kihei Akina is set to bolster the lineup, fresh off his Utah Open title this month. The Lone Peak graduate is currently ranked at No. 58 on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) after becoming the youngest ever Utah Open winner in the tournament's 99-year history.
Oklahoma State transfer Parker Bunn, sophomores Jackson Mauss and Kevin Wu and junior Angus Klintworth will look to be impact players during the 2025-26 season.
