Georgia Southern travels to Waynesville, North Carolina, to compete in the JT Poston Invitational, hosted by Western Carolina, for the fourth time. The Eagles won the event the first two times they have competed there (2018 and 2019) and tied for third last year. 

Georgia Southern is coming off its season-opening event, the Gopher Invitational in Minnesota. Parker Claxton fired a final-round 64 to tie for fifth place. Claxton, Thomas Horne and Brycen Jones will represent the squad again and two players will make their tournament debuts in the blue & white. Edouard Cereto transferred in from Southern Illinois where he won the MVC individual title last year, and Pierce Adamson grabbed the fifth spot through qualification.

Previously known as the WCU Intercollegiate (2004 & 2007) and the Hummingbird Intercollegiate (2008-2018), WCU renamed its home tournament after its all-time leading scorer – and two-time PGA Tour event winner, J.T. Poston (2019 Wyndham Championship; John Deer Classic in 2022). Poston claimed six individual medalist honors during his playing career in Cullowhee, twice winning the Southern Conference men's golf championship and was the individual medalist at the 2013 Hummingbird Intercollegiate.
