LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech is ranked No. 6 in this week's Bushnell Golfweek Coaches Poll.
The Red Raiders are coming off a seventh-place finish at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate last week in Hawaii and will now play at The Prestige next Monday-Wednesday in Palm Springs, California. Along with the Golfweek Coaches Poll, Tech is now at No. 9 in the Golfstat statistical rankings led by senior Sandy Scott who is at No. 9 in the individual rankings. The final round of The Prestige will be livestreamed by Golfweek from 12-5 p.m. at Golfweek.com/Prestige2020.
The Prestige will be played at PGA WEST with teams from Arkansas, Iowa State, LSU, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Pepperdine, San Diego State, SMU, Stanford, University of Stirling (Scotland), Texas, UC Davis, UCLA, and Wyoming.
