COLUMBIA, S.C. – Second-year head coach Rob Bradley announced his squad’s 2025-26 schedule on Friday morning. The team is fresh off a 2024-25 campaign in which it returned to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2019. Carolina opens the season up north at The Gopher Invitational Sept. 7-8 in Independence, Minn.
The team will play in nine regular season events with four in the fall and five in the spring before beginning postseason play at the end of April.
The Gamecocks will host a pair of tournaments starting with the inaugural Bryan Bros Collegiate Sept. 29-30 at Solina Golf Club in West Columbia, S.C. The program partnered with the club and former standout alums, brothers George IV and Wesley Bryan, to host the tournament. George played for the Gamecocks from 2006-10 where he was a three-time All-American and two-time First Team All-SEC selection. He helped lead the Gamecocks to the NCAA West Regional Title in 2007 and is one of four players in program history to earn All-America status three times. Wesley played for Carolina from 2008-12, winning twice in college and earning All-SEC honors in 2010. As a professional in 2016, he went on to win three times en route to being named Web.com Tour Player of the Year (now Korn Ferry Tour). In his first full season on the PGA TOUR in 2017, he became the first native South Carolinian to win the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town. In 134 career PGA TOUR starts, Bryan has made 68 cuts (50.7%) with nine top-10 finishes and five top-fives.
The team will head to the Lowcountry Oct. 13-15 for The Bryson Invitational at Daniel Island Club and then conclude the fall again at the Fallen Oak Invitational Oct. 19-20 in Saucier, Miss. where the Gamecocks will compete against a handful of fellow SEC squads.
Carolina will open the spring for the fifth straight season at the Puerto Rico Classic Feb. 9-11. The Gamecocks will be off the rest of the month before heading west for the Southern Highlands Collegiate March 1-3 in Las Vegas. The final three events will be repeats on the schedule from last season with The Hayt (March 7-9), Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate (March 22-24) and The Ford Collegiate (April 13-14).
Sea Island Golf Club will host the SEC Championship for the 25th year April 22-26. It’ll be the ninth consecutive championship that will feature both stroke and match play to determine the SEC Champions. NCAA Regional selections will take place May 6 with six sites across the country hosting teams May 18-20 for regional play. The top-five teams at each site will advance to the NCAA Championship May 29-June 3. Omni La Costa Resort & Spa will host NCAA finals again for the third-straight season.
