Texas Longhorns men's golf

The Texas Longhorns men's golf team represents the University of Texas at Austin in NCAA Division I intercollegiate men's golf competition. The Longhorns competed in the Big 12 Conference through the 2024 season and moved to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) on July 1, 2024.

The program has a strong golf tradition, dating back to its first season in 1927. Since then the Longhorns have won national titles back-to-back in 1971 and 1972, again in 2012 and the most recent in 2022, and finished runner-up six other times (1949, 1983, 1989, 1994, 2016, 2019). Individual national champions were Ed White (1935), Ben Crenshaw (1971, 1972, and 1973), Tom Kite (1972), and Justin Leonard (1994).

Longhorns who have won the U.S. Amateur include Justin Leonard and David Gossett. Longhorn golfers have gone on to win 12 major championships as professionals: Crenshaw (2), Kite (1), Leonard (1), Mark Brooks (1), Jordan Spieth (3), and Scottie Scheffler (4). Both Spieth and Scheffler have also reached the number one position in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Legendary golf instructor Harvey Penick was a long-time coach at Texas. The team has been coached by John Fields since 1998.
