The 12th Annual Colleton River Collegiate Tournament, hosted by Michigan State, returns to Colleton River Club and the award-winning Jack Nicklaus Golf Course March 4-5. Georgia Southern plays in the tournament for the fifth consecutive time and is looking to defend its back-to-back team titles at the event. The Eagles also won the the tournament in 2020 and tied for 7th in 2019.

While the Eagles have had success at the Colleton the past two years, this year's lineup will look a lot different. Hogan Ingram makes his third appearance and Luke Koenig played as an individual last year.

The Eagles will tee off the first hole in a shotgun start at 8:15 a.m.

Following the event, Georgia Southern will have two weeks off before hosting the 44th Schenkel Invitational, one of the premiere events and longest running tournaments in college golf, at Forest Heights Golf Club in Statesboro March 15-17.

ABOUT THE NICKLAUS COURSE AT COLLETON RIVER:
Regarded by golf legends as one of the finest 18 holes in the game, the Nicklaus course at Colleton River celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022. The course strikes an exceptional balance between challenge and playability. Nicklaus tempts you throughout, providing glimpses of the marsh on the front nine before finishing the round in dramatic fashion exposed to the winds and scenic vistas provided by the Colleton River. Measuring over 7,100 yards, the course was named "Best new private course in America" in 1993 by Golf Digest. In the fall of 2017, the Nicklaus course underwent a remarkable restoration unearthing its original classic lowcountry beauty.
