AMERICUS, Ga. -- Georgia Southwestern State University senior golfer Felipe Gomez was named to the 2025 NCAA Division II PING All-American First Team by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Wednesday evening.
Gomez, the 2024-25 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year, earned his first All-Region award last week and now adds his first All-American distinction. He joined the GSW golf team for the spring semester and made an immediate impact, winning the Lincoln Memorial University Spring Kickoff in his first tournament with three rounds in the 60s. Gomez played in all eight events this spring on the regular season schedule for the Hurricanes, finishing in the top five on five occasions with a PBC-best 70.58 stroke average. A native of Santander, Spain, Gomez entered this week's NCAA National Championships as the top-ranked golfer in the southeast region and No. 4 in the nation according to the NCAA Division II computer rankings by Scoreboard. He finished the year having played 18 of his 27 rounds at or under par.
Gomez is the 12th Hurricane golfer to earn All-American accolades since GSW joined the NCAA in 2006-07. The program has produced 18 All-Americans overall during that time with five golfers earning multiple awards.
