The Experience of Playing NCAA D1 College Golf

Published On 16 Jan 2026 by Ryan Kelly

We were joined University of Mississippi alum and former DP World Tour golfer Callum Macaulay as our special guest on our recent college golf webinbar.

 

Callum enjoyed four successful years playing NCAA DI collegiate golf at one of the top ranked teams in the nation and that experience had a huge impact on his golf career, winning the Scottish Amateur Championship at Carnoustie then famously helping Scotland to win the World Amateur Team Championship in Australia. He went onto secure his European Tour card and competed on the pro ranks for several season.

 

Our in depth discussion with Callum covered all aspects of his student athlete experience as a college golfer, his tips for being recruited, advice for aspiring players and the story behind his journey from county golfer to college golfer and onto professional tour success.
