The Haskins Award presented by Stifel honors the player of the year in men’s college golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media. Players on the Haskins Award Watch List were selected by a panel of Golfweek and Golf Channel reporters. They are listed alphabetically.
