8. Vanderbilt
Score: 35
Vanderbilt’s men’s golf team managed to rank first on the NCAA’s list for college golfers. Although quite successful, Vanderbilt’s Commodores golf team aren’t very present in the media, with other sports taking precedence. In the past year, however, they’ve managed to place first in several tournaments – such as the Nike Golf Collegiate Invitational, the East Lake Cup, the SEC Championship and the NCAA Championship and managed to occupy three other second spots, and two third sports in other locations.
One of the most famous Commodore golf players is Brandt Snedeker, who graduated in 2002. Just recently, he announced he would be funding a scholarship alongside his wife, called the Snedeker Golf Scholarship, which will support future team members.
