Golden Bears and Tigers shine on the Old Course while St Andrews Course Records were Broken
October 13–15, 2025 · St Andrews, Scotland · Jubilee Course (stroke play) → Old Course (medal match play)
The Home of Golf delivered a fitting finale as Princeton’s men and California’s women closed out the 2025 St Andrews Links Collegiate with composed medal-match victories on the Old Course, punctuating three days that began with wind-tested stroke play on the Jubilee.
After two rounds separated the contenders, Wednesday’s singles decided the trophies. Princeton outlasted California in the men’s championship match, 4–2, while Michigan State handled the men’s consolation with a 4.5–1.5 win over St Andrews. On the women’s side, California finished the job it started in stroke play, defeating Princeton 4.5–1.5 for the title, and Michigan State topped St Andrews 4–2 in the consolation.
It was the kind of closing act St Andrews seems to script: brisk air off the Eden, firm turf underfoot, and college teams learning to win on the most historic stage in the game.

A Young Event With Big Ambitions
Few college golf events can claim a setting that doubles as golf’s spiritual home. But at the St Andrews Links Collegiate, where the Swilcan Bridge shadows the afternoon light and the Fife winds swirl off the North Sea, the story is bigger than the leaderboard. It’s a meeting point between college golf’s rising generation and the timeless heritage of the Old Course.
This week’s edition brings together California, Princeton, Michigan State, and host University of St Andrews for a three-day test across the Jubilee and Old Course layouts. The format blends two rounds of stroke play with a match-play finale that crowns the overall champions. For the American teams, it’s a journey into golf’s origins. For St Andrews, it’s a rare chance to defend home turf in front of the world.
Though the St Andrews Links Collegiate debuted only in 2023, it has quickly carved out a place in the college golf landscape. Few events offer such a combination of historic venues, international competition, and broadcast exposure. The format itself nods to both the modern collegiate circuit and the game’s roots: teams play two rounds of stroke play on the Jubilee Course, then advance to medal-match play on the Old Course, where every swing is shadowed by golf’s oldest traditions.
Last year, Northwestern claimed the men’s team title and Arizona took the women’s, while Northwestern’s Ashley Yun and Arizona’s Zach Pollo captured the individual honors — early names in what’s becoming an annual transatlantic rivalry.
What It Means for the Colleges
The St Andrews Links Collegiate isn’t simply another line on a fall schedule. It’s an immersion — an education in the patience, shot-making, and imagination that links golf demands.
For U.S. programs, the trip provides cultural weight and competitive seasoning, the sort that often reveals future Tour players. For St Andrews, it’s a showcase of the university’s growing golf program and a statement that student golf in Scotland can compete at NCAA caliber. As coaches and players often note, the experience extends beyond scorecards — it’s about learning to compete in golf’s purest form.
Updates from Oct 13–14
Storylines to Watch Ahead of the Final Day
- Home-course pride: With Monk and Maurice pacing the women’s side, St Andrews will look to channel its local edge on the Old Course.
- Cal’s twin pursuit: Both Golden Bear squads hold team leads — a sweep would mark a defining moment in program history.
- Princeton’s momentum: Reed Greysman’s individual lead gives the Tigers confidence as match play begins.
- Links mastery under pressure: Medal-match rounds on the Old Course promise crosswinds, firm turf, and the kind of decision-making that defines links golf.
- A growing tradition: Only three editions in, the event already feels like a fixture — a celebration of youth, travel, and golf’s enduring conversation between past and present.
Closing Note
When the match-play brackets open tomorrow across the ancient dunes of St Andrews, each team will be chasing more than a trophy. They’ll be testing how modern collegiate golf translates to the birthplace of the game — and discovering that, at this venue, every swing adds a brushstroke to golf’s living history.
