GOLF

The University of Arizona Adaptive Golf team was established in September 2019 and is the first collegiate-based program in the country. Developing players who perform at an elite level and compete at the highest levels of the game, the University of Arizona Adaptive Golf Team continues to establish itself as a national leader in adaptive athletics. Our visually impaired golfers are both ranked No. 1 in the world in men’s and women’s blind golf following their victories at the 2025 IBGA World Blind Golf Championship. The team further demonstrated its depth by securing the team title at the 2025 Arizona Adaptive Open Championship’s Pearl Click Cup.
