The Rattler Golf team will join teams from Alabama State University, Texas Southern University, Howard University, Livingstone College and host team Johnson C. Smith University in the competition. The teams were identified as the top HBCU Division I and Division II golf programs via the Golfstat Ranking on May 5, 2022.
"We are honored to be a part of a historic event being named after Dr. Sifford," said Head Coach Mike Rice. "It will be an amazing experience for all the players as it will be something they have never been able to take part in, and we are excited to participate in a historic event."
"Charlie Sifford's legacy as the first African-American player on the PGA TOUR continues to impact future generations of golfers, allowing for kids from all backgrounds to experience this great sport," said 2022 Presidents Cup Chair Johno Harris. "On behalf of the Presidents Cup and Quail Hollow Club, we are thrilled to welcome these top HBCU players to our community for a first-of-its-kind showcase event and the opportunity to compete on a world-class venue just weeks before the top U.S. and International players arrive in Charlotte."
