ST. PAUL, Minn. – The St. Thomas men's golf team has announced its 2026-27 schedule as the Tommies prepare for their sixth season of Division I competition. The road to the 2027 Summit League Championship begins during the second week of September.
St. Thomas opens the season September 14-15 at the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan.

One week later, the Tommies return to the Gopher Invitational, hosted by Minnesota, for the third season in a row. The 2026 tournament is scheduled for September 20-21. The Toms opened each of their last two seasons at Windsong Farm and look to improve on their past performances at the Gopher Invite.
Six days after the Gopher, the Toms have the Badger Invitational on the other side of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. The University of Wisconsin hosts the event on Sept. 27-29 at TPC Wisconsin. St. Thomas has not attended the event in the past.
