Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) head men’s golf coach Easton Key has announced the 10-tournament schedule awaiting the Governors for the 2026-27 campaign, highlighted by a West Coast trip to historic Torrey Pines South Course and a return to Clarksville Country Club to host the APSU Intercollegiate for the first time since 2023.
“I’m very happy with how this schedule came together,” said Austin Peay State University head coach Easton Key. “Being able to go play some historic venues like Inverness and Torrey Pines while also bringing our home event back to Clarksville Country Club is huge for the trajectory of our program. It’s a great schedule from beginning to end and I’m excited to go compete!”
The APSU Govs open the fall slate at the Inverness Intercollegiate, hosted by Toledo, September 13th-15th. It will be Austin Peay State University’s first appearance at one of the most prestigious fall events on the men’s golf calendar since 2016. Portions of the tournament also will air on ESPN+.
Austin Peay State University then travels to Birmingham, Alabama, for the GMAC Invitational, September 20th-22nd, before a break in the schedule leading into the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate, hosted by Arkansas State, October 12th-13th.
Austin Peay State University’s last fall appearance at RidgePointe Country Club came in 2024, when the Govs posted a third-place finish in their third tournament under Key’s stewardship. Then-freshman Grady Cox finished 10th with a six-under 210 for the tournament.
The APSU Govs close the fall slate at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate, October 19th-21st, hosted by East Tennessee State at the Blackthorn Club in Johnson City.
