The men’s team earned 91 All-America awards, twenty Big 12 championships, as well as a national title. The women’s team earned 32 All-America awards, twenty-nine Big 12 championships, and five national titles. With all this success, it’s obvious that fans would buy lots of Texas Tech gifts.
The men’s golf team competed in their first two consecutive National Championships tournaments. The last time they did that was in 1960. Greg Sands’ coaches the team that qualified for the tournament after coming in 7th place in the Central Regional competition.
