WASHINGTON (September 17, 2023) – Howard University men's golf team heads West for the HU-USF Intercollegiate, hosted by the Bison and San Francisco. The two-day event takes place at TPC Harding Park (72-par, 7,091 yards) in San Francisco.

Fans are welcome and encouraged to attend both days of the event.
 
HISTORY
 
Howard and San Francisco (USF) are entering their second year of a unique partnership.
 
Last year, USF partnered with the Bison to begin a tournament that is focused on equity and inclusion within the sport of golf. Collegiately, this tournament gives unheralded programs the opportunity to compete at prestigious venues, such as TPC Harding Park and TPC Potomac, last year's course.
 
"The tournament that we have created, which alternates coasts, has truly been amazing," said Howard Director of Golf Sam Puryear. "It has given us a diverse field, allowed us to impact the local communities through verbiage and clinics and has matched universities together that otherwise would have not ever met."
  
TOURNAMENT PREVIEW
 
The tourney features 13 programs, including four HBCUs: Howard; USF; Alabama State; Cal Poly; Denver; Loyola Marymount; New Mexico; Pacific; Prairie View A&M; Princeton; Santa Clara; San Diego and UC Davis.
 
The 2023 Howard/USF Intercollegiate will begin with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. (PT) Monday (Sept. 18), with rounds one and two set for the first day of action. Teams will then wrap up play with their final 18 holes Tuesday (Sept. 19) with split tee teams, beginning at 8:00 a.m. (PT).
