HISTORY
 
The PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship (formerly known as the National Minority College Championship) was founded in 1986.

The inaugural championship was held in 1987 at the Highland Park Golf Course. As of 2019, the PGA REACH foundation has gained ownership.
 
Last year, the women's team champions were the Texas A&M University of Corpus Christi.
