The ninth-ranked Sun Devil Men's Golf team hosts its Thunderbird Collegiate on April 10-11 at Papago Golf Club, with 36 holes on Friday and 18 to follow Saturday. Tee times start at 7 a.m. both days at the 7,419-yard and par-72 course, with Friday being a shotgun start.
ASU has won the past three Thunderbird Collegiate Invitationals but will have to do it without 2025 Thunderbird individual champion Fifa Laopakdee, who is competing in the Masters this weekend.
