May 30, 2026 | Men's Golf
NORMAN, Okla. — Texas Tech's Adam Bresnu, Connor Graham, and Tim Wiedemeyer were selected on Saturday to the NCAA Division I PING All-Region Team, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced. The Red Raider trio earned spots on the 25-player Central Region Team, one of six all-region squads recognized across Division I men's golf, with 150 players honored nationally.
Bresnu, Graham, and Wiedemeyer helped power Texas Tech to a top-10 national ranking during the spring season, with all three ranked inside the top 25 individually in the Clippd national rankings during that time. The trio also earned first-team All-Big 12 honors on May 11, marking the first time in program history the Red Raiders placed three golfers on the All-Big 12 First Team in the same season.
Graham earned all-region recognition for the second consecutive season, while Bresnu and Wiedemeyer each received the honor for the first time. It also marks the fourth time in the past five seasons that Texas Tech has had at least three golfers named to the Central Team in the same year.
The PING All-Region Teams, in addition to the Central, include the Northeast, East, Southeast, Midwest, and West. To view the full list of honorees, visit gcaa.coach/news.
The GCAA awards calendar continues throughout June with the announcement of the All-Freshman Team on Tuesday, June 2, PING First-Team All-Americans on Wednesday, June 3, and the full slate of All-America Teams on June 10.

About PING
PING designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of golf equipment including metal woods, irons, wedges, putters and golf bags. The family-owned company was founded in 1959 in the garage of the late Karsten Solheim, a mechanical engineer with an extensive background in the aerospace and computer industries. His frustration with his putting inspired him to design his own putter, which created a "pinging" sound when striking a golf ball. This sound was the source of the name now synonymous with innovation, quality and service throughout the world of golf. Solheim and his company are credited with numerous innovations that became industry standards, including perimeter weighting, custom fitting and the use of investment casting in the manufacturing of golf clubs. His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry. Solheim is the only person to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame as a golf club manufacturer. Today, the Phoenix-based company is under the direction of Solheim's grandson, John K. Solheim, who leads a team of more than 800 dedicated employees committed to helping improve the games of golfers around the world.
