The Arizona Wildcats men's golf team has a strong golf tradition, dating back to their first season in 1934. Since then they have won one national title in 1992.

On August 4, 2023, Arizona announced it would join the Big 12 Conference along with Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah beginning in the 2024-25 academic year.[1]

Wildcats who have won the U.S. Amateur include Eric Meeks and Ricky Barnes. Besides Majors-winner Jim Furyk, a number of other former Wildcat players have gone on to win on the PGA Tour, including: Don Pooley, Dan Pohl, Robert Gamez, Mike Springer, Rory Sabbatini, Ted Purdy and Nate Lashley.[2] Furyk is also a Champions Tour major winner, and the eighth player to win both the U.S. Open and U.S. Senior Open.[3] In addition Wildcat Rory Sabbatini won a Silver Medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics competing for Slovakia.[4]
