FIVE DECADES IS BIG TIME
The ASU Thunderbird Collegiate has been a thing for 51 years, sixth-most in all of NCAA men's golf. Only San Jose State's Western Intercollegiate (78 years), Houston's Border Olympics (75), Little Three Championship (72 years hosted by Canisius), Stanford's The Goodwin (55) and the Furman Intercollegiate (54) have longer runs. It has happened every year since 1973 sans the COVID shortened 2020 athletic season.
