Fayetteville, Ark. – Blessings Golf Club will host the seventh annual Blessings Collegiate Invitational presented by Tyson Foods October 2–5, 2026. The premier collegiate event will once again feature many of the nation’s top men’s and women’s golf programs, including the host Arkansas Razorbacks.
For 2026, the Blessings Collegiate Invitational presented by Tyson Foods will feature nine men’s teams and nine women’s teams competing in a 54-hole stroke play championship at Blessings Golf Club. Men and women will compete on the same course and under the same conditions throughout the week, creating one of the most unique formats in collegiate golf. For just the second time in tournament history, the field will consist of separate men’s and women’s programs from different universities rather than paired men’s and women’s teams representing the same institution.
The 2025 Blessings Collegiate Invitational was a memorable week for the Arkansas Razorbacks, who captured the men’s, women’s, and Overall University Championships on their home course. The Razorback women delivered a dominant performance, finishing 8-under par to secure their third consecutive team title. Maria José Marin paced Arkansas with a runner-up finish at 12-under par, including a final-round 64 that established a new Blessings Golf Club course record. Clarisa Temelo and Abbey Schutte shared third place at even par, while Reagan Zibilski tied for sixth, giving Arkansas all four counting scores among the top six individual finishers.
On the men’s side, the Razorbacks posted a 54-hole total of 3-under par to earn a convincing team victory. Arkansas was led by individual champion John Daly II, who finished at 2-under par to claim medalist honors. The Razorbacks placed four players inside the top 15, showcasing impressive depth throughout the lineup and helping secure Arkansas’ sweep of the team championships. Combined with the women’s title, the Razorbacks also captured the Overall University Championship, capping off a terrific week.
Volunteer opportunities for the 2026 Blessings Collegiate Invitational presented by Tyson Foods will be opening soon. Volunteers play an essential role in the success of the championship, and early registration is encouraged to secure preferred assignments.
