Sun Devil men's golf claimed a dominant victory while Preston Summerhays repeated as the individual champion at the 2024 Thunderbird Collegiate April 12-13 at Papago Golf Club, The squad put together a historical performance on their way to a second-consecutive Thunderbird Collegiate team title, as they finished an incredible 38-under to win by 28 strokes, the largest margin of victory by any team at the Thunderbird Collegiate since at least 2000. It marked the 22nd time ASU has kept the Thunderbird Collegiate trophy home.
