Bloomington, Ind. – More than 100 of the best amateur golfers are headed to The Pfau Course at Indiana University next week.
The course will play host to the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur Aug. 8-10. The event will feature both men's and women's divisions for a 54-hole, stroke play competition. The event is free for spectators to attend.
While the field will include players from all around the state, it will also have a significant Indiana University flavor. Maddie May and Nicole Kolbas, a pair of new arrivals to Coach Brian May's IU Women's Golf program for 2023-24, are expected to compete. On the men's side, at least six members of Coach Mike Mayer's program are in the field: Robbie Bender III, Eric Berggren, Noah Gillard, Thomas Hursey, Clay Merchent, and Nick Piesen.
This marks the fourth straight year that the Golfweek Hoosier Amateur has been contested at The Pfau Course. Ranked as one of the top 100 public golf courses in the nation by Golf Digest earlier this summer, the course continues to attract elite golf competitions. Most notably, the Indiana State Amateur Golf Tournament was contested at IU's home course, marking the first time in the event's 123-year history that it was played in Bloomington.
