The Generals enjoyed a record-breaking 2024 season, winning three tournaments: the Golfweek October Classic, the Savannah Invitational, and the Capital City Classic. They were ranked No. 1 in Division III for much of the year and capped off the season with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Division III National Championships.

The team set program records for tournament titles (3), scoring average (288.0), average score to par (0.03), par-or-better rounds (16 of 26), birdies (484), eagles (20), par-3, par-4, and par-5 scoring, 36-hole score to par (-5), single-round score to par (-16), and 54-hole score to par (-30). In addition, 11 individual program records were broken, highlighted by Jonathan McEwen's performance at the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championships, where he set a new 54-hole scoring record with a 12-under-par showing.

The Generals open the 2025-26 campaign on Monday, Sept. 15 as they travel to Greensboro, N.C. for the Gate City Invite at Forest Oaks Country Club.
