New York City — St. John’s Men’s Golf Unveils an Ambitious 2025-26 Road Map

Hold onto your caps: the St. John’s Red Storm men’s golf team is heading out on the road in a big way next season. Coach Phil Wildermuth pulled back the curtain on the 2025-26 slate on September 5, 2025, and the schedule reads like a coast-to-coast tour — 11 tournaments across nine different states. Expect firm lines on leaderboards, long travel van stories, and some real chances to build momentum.

Fast start in the fall — four events to get the gears turning

The campaign kicks off quickly with four fall stops. The season opener is the Metropolis Intercollegiate in White Plains, N.Y., hosted by Columbia on September 8-9. Late September brings the three-day UConn Invitation at GreatHorse in Hampden, Mass., a place where the Red Storm left a mark last year by finishing third — and one of the team’s players came away with medalist honors.

October moves into Midwest and local turf. On October 20-21 the team heads to Cincinnati for the Xavier Invitational at Maketewah Country Club, an event St. John’s last played in 2023 where they finished a solid fifth. The fall slate wraps up on October 27-28 with the long-standing Wykagyl Invitational in New Rochelle, N.Y., hosted by Iona — always a competitive close to the fall portion of the year.

Spring sprint — seven tournaments, including Augusta and a Masters practice round

When winter fades, the Red Storm pick up the pace with seven spring dates. The first spring stop is a West Coast jump: the Bill Cullum Invitational at The Saticoy Club in Somis, Calif., on February 2-3, 2026, hosted by Cal State-Northbridge. From there it’s back to the Gulf for the Gulf Coast Collegiate in New Orleans on February 21-22.

March keeps the travel tight with back-to-back events in North Carolina: the Babygrande Donald Ross Collegiate on March 9-11, followed the next week by the ECU Intercollegiate on March 16-17. April serves up a major moment: the Red Storm have qualified for the prestigious Augusta Haskins Award Invitational in Augusta, Ga., on April 4-5, 2026, after winning the GolfWeek Invitational last season. That qualification brings an extra perk — all participating teams will have the opportunity to attend a practice round at The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, a rare and priceless experience for college players.

Spring wraps with stops in the northeast: the Rutherford Intercollegiate at the Penn State Blue Course in University Park, Pa., on April 18-19, and then a return to Riverton Pointe Golf Club for the 2026 BIG EAST Men’s Golf Championships from May 2-4. That conference finale is the kind of event where season-long work pays off and postseason paths start to clarify.

Behind the bench and who’s on the bag

Coach Phil Wildermuth enters his fourth season at the helm. During his time so far, he’s guided an individual to qualify for three straight NCAA Regional appearances, a sign of the program’s upward trajectory. The roster for 2025-26 blends experience and youth: four returners from last season’s squad come back to provide stability, and three freshmen arrive to add depth and fresh talent.

What this schedule means

This itinerary sends the Red Storm to a wide mix of venues and setups — public and private clubs, big-name invitational fields, and conference championship conditions. The mix of three-day invitational formats, mid-season tests, and a chance to swing at Augusta make this a season designed to sharpen both individuals and the team. Travel will be a factor, but the layout also creates clear opportunities to build momentum and chase postseason bids.
