North Carolina is back in the field to defend their 2024 title at Forest Hills Golf Club
The Augusta Haskins Award Invitational at Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., is back for 2025 from April 5 to April 6.
There are 14 teams in the field, and feature several of the top 25 programs in the nation.
"We're super excited to host these teams, and I think it will be a good challenge for our team," Augusta men's head coach Steven Paine told Augusta Athletics. "Having the Masters in town that week is obviously a big draw. One of the cool things we get to do as part of the event is take the field to watch the practice round on Monday after our final round. The winner of the tournament also gets a PGA Tour invitation to the Valspar Invitational."
According to Augusta Athletics, Forest Hills Golf Club is again the host course and has undergone renovation work in the past year with new greens. The course was also reshaped a bit after Hurricane Helene hit the Augusta area, taking down many trees not only on the course but around the entire area.
