10/11/2026 1:19:00 PM | Men's Golf
MIAMI, FLA. - The Seton Hall men's golf team will close the fall season when it returns to tournament action for three rounds of golf at The Bryson Invitational, Oct. 12-14, at Trump National Doral.
Â
Tournament Details:
THE BRYSON INVITATIONAL
Location:Â Miami, Fla.
Course:Â Trump National Doral
Course Vitals:Â Par-72, 7,590 yards
Dates:Â October 12-14, 2026
Â
THE COURSE:
When playing the Blue Monster you'll walk in seriously famous footsteps, on fairways where Woods, Johnson, Nicklaus and Norman have triumphed. As a resort or daily-fee guest or a member of Trump National Doral Golf Club, you can tackle these fabled greens just like your heroes.
Â
Utilizing the original design, but boasting updated features, hazards, and strategic options that restored the bite that gave the course its name, this Donald J. Trump Signature-designed course is a compelling test for golfers at every skill level.
Â
What awaits is a palm-shaded, 7,739-yard palette of deep, brilliantly placed bunkers, lush Bermuda rough, skillfully contoured greens, and an ocean's worth of lakes. Your journey concludes with a trip up the famous, 473-yard, par-4 18th, recognized by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 100 Holes in the World.
Â
THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall, the highly-talented field includes 11 other schools:Â Coastal Carolina, College of Charleston, Florida Gulf Coast, Furman, Grand Canyon, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon State, Stetson, Troy and Washington State.
Â
THE FORMAT:
Teams will play five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.
Â
THE LINEUP:
Here's the season-opening lineup for the Pirates…
Junior Will Hennessee (Tulsa, Okla.) rallied to earn a share of the individual title and lifted the Seton Hall men's golf team to the title of the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational on Tuesday. It's the first individual title of Hennessee's career and his sixth top-5 finish. Hennessee finished the tournament with a 5-under-par, 69-72-70-211. Remarkably, it's the third time in four tournaments this fall that he has shot 5-under-par for a tournament. Hennessee now has eight sub-par tournaments for his career, which is tied for fifth-most in program history.
Â
As a team, The Hall shot an impressive 9-under-par, 279, in the final round to edge Eastern Michigan by one stroke to win the team title. The Eagles matched Seton Hall's 9-under-par final round to provide the late round drama. For the tournament, the Pirates were the lone team to shoot under par with a 1-under-par, 297-287-279-863. Two BIG EAST competitors were also in the field. Connecticut finished sixth, 15 strokes behind the Pirates, while St. John's was seventh, 19 strokes behind The Hall.
Â
LAST TIME AT THE BRYSON:
Eli Shah (Newtown Square, Pa.) shot a 1-under-par, 71, in the third round to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a 13th place finish at the 2025 Bryson Invitational at Daniel Island Golf Club in Daniel Island, S.C. Shah had four birdies and 11 pars in round three to fuel his second sub-par round of the tournament. For the three-day event, he tied for 17th place among 84 individual golfers with a 4-under-par, 72-69-71-212.Â
Â
As a team, The Hall shot a 3-over-par, 291, in round three, but still finished the tournament under par. For the three-day event, the Pirates were 1-under-par with a 287-285-291-863. Vanderbilt won the team title with a remarkable 30-under-par.
Â
THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play 18 holes per day, Monday through Wednesday. Seton Hall will be paired with golfers from Washington State and Oregon State in round one with Williams teeing off first at 8:55 a.m.
Â
THE RESULTS:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Scoreboard.clippd.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.
