Auburn golf is back to full form as the No. 1 Tigers head into the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational.

It's a stacked field, with 13 of the 15 teams in the field being ranked in the top 25.

“Tournaments like these are why you choose to play at Auburn,” head coach Nick Clinard said. “The 15 teams playing this week very well could be the final 15 teams left standing at La Costa come May. When the field is this good, you’ve got no choice but to sink or swim. It’ll be a tight race that very well could come down to a single shot when it’s all said and done.”

After missing the first tournament of the season to play in a PGA Tour event, Jackson Koivun, the No. 1 amateur in the world, is back for Clinard's team. He will be joined by fellow juniors Josiah Gilbert and Cayden Pope, while sophomore Billy Davis and freshman Jake Albert fill out the Auburn team.
