CARLSBAD, Calif. — Texas Tech’s Connor Graham picked up a pair of honors during the week of the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships, first being named to the PING All-Region Team and later named to the GCAA All-Freshman Team.
Graham led Texas Tech during the 2024-25 season with a 71.1 scoring average over 13 events and 41 rounds of golf. He also led the Red Raiders with seven Top 20 finishes, rounds carded below par (16) and rounds recorded even-par or better (25). He tied for the team lead in eagles (7), and ranked second on the team for rounds shot in the 60s (11) during the year.
For the annual NCAA Division I PING All-Region honorees, players across six regions and 82 schools earned all-region honors in 2025. Graham was a part of the Central team and one of 25 players named to it. Other schools in the Central region included those recognized from programs such as Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M.
Graham was one of five players in NCAA Division I college golf who was named to the All-Freshman Team. He was joined by Daniel Bennett (Texas), who was named the recipient of the 2025 NCAA Division I Phil Mickelson Outstanding Freshman Award, along with fellow All-Freshman team honorees Wheaton Ennis (Texas A&M), Gunnlaugur Árni Sveinsson (LSU), and Clark Van Gaalen (Oklahoma).
Graham is the first Red Raider named to the GCAA All-Freshman Team (utilizing GCAA records dating back to 2005).

About PING
PING designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of golf equipment including metal woods, irons, wedges, putters and golf bags. The family-owned company was founded in 1959 in the garage of the late Karsten Solheim, a mechanical engineer with an extensive background in the aerospace and computer industries. His frustration with his putting inspired him to design his own putter, which created a “pinging” sound when striking a golf ball. This sound was the source of the name now synonymous with innovation, quality and service throughout the world of golf.
