    Titleist Brand Ambassador Gordon Sargent is TOUR bound. After taking home the individual title at the NCAA D1 Men's Championship as a freshman, Sargent has made history by becoming the first player to secure a PGA TOUR card through PGA TOUR University Accelerated.

    • The program offers collegiate players the opportunity to earn a TOUR card by earning 20 points by the end of their third year of NCAA eligibility, and points are distributed based on accomplishments in collegiate, amateur or professional tournament play.
    • Being named to the U.S. team at the World Amateur Team Championship, which took place last week in Abu Dhabi, officially earned him his 20th point. Sargent helped the U.S. win in runaway fashion, and he finished T5 individually.
    • Sargent, 20, had a summer to remember in 2023, beginning with Low Amateur honors at the U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club and ending with a come-from-behind U.S. Walker Cup victory at St. Andrews.
    • The Vanderbilt standout led the U.S. team in points, going 4-0 in his matches and becoming just the 19th player in history to do so at the Walker Cup.  
    • While Sargent is the first player to secure TOUR membership through the recently developed program, only three players since 2010 would have secured their card by reaching the 20-point threshold: Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas and Patrick Rodgers
    • A full breakdown of Sargent’s point total: 
      • 5 pts: No. 1 World Amateur Golf Ranking 
      • 1 pt: 2023 World Amateur Team Championship 
      • 2 pts: 2023 Walker Cup
