RIVERDALE, NY – Manhattan Jaspers' Men's and Women's Golf Head Coach Keith Prokop has announced the 2025-26 Men's Golf and Inaugural Women's Golf Schedule on Wednesday afternoon.
"There is nothing like being able to be the first to do something in New York City, and these young athletes are going to be able to do just that," says Prokop.
"It comes with a lot of excitement and some nerves to be expected, but I believe we have an extremely strong team in year one. Once we get our feet underneath, we will be ready to run by conferences. There is so much history in this university, we are ready to start some of our own."
The program's first-ever Women's Golf invitational comes just five days into September when the Jaspers embark on their first journey to Bucknell University at the Bucknell Invitational from Friday, September 5 to Sunday, September 7.
The Green and White trek to the nation's first state and participate in the "Battle at the Creek" hosted by Mount St. Mary's in Rehoboth Beach, DE, in a two-day invite beginning on Monday, September 15.
One week later, Manhattan heads north for Boston College and the Red Bandanna Invitational in Canton, MA, and Blue Hills Country Club on Monday, September 22, and Tuesday, September 23.
The Jaspers then face a conference foe in Sacred Heart, as they join the field in the SHU Fall Classic from Great River Golf Club in Milford on Monday, September 29, and Tuesday, September 30.
In October, the Jaspers close out their fall campaign with their first meet taking place at Lake View Country Club in northwestern Pennsylvania in the Evann Parker Memorial, hosted by Mercyhurst University on Sunday, October 5, and Monday, October 6. Manhattan then closes out October and the calendar year in Syracuse in the Lady Dolphin Invitational hosted by Le Moyne College on Monday, October 20, and Tuesday, October 21.
On the Men's side, the Jaspers will open their 2025-26 fall campaign in the Red Bandanna Invitational on Sunday, August 31, and Monday, September 1 at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY.
"We are extremely excited to get this season started, especially at an event that had our number last year. Our young core is starting to grow into their games, as evident by our great summer," said Prokop.
"We also added some great new pieces to the roster. Internally, we know the expectations of this team, and we are looking forward to showing our abilities in efforts to raise golf's first banner."
