Every golfer’s journey starts somewhere
The stories behind Saints Golf are as diverse as the students who make up our community. From beginners discovering the game for the first time, to club golfers representing the University, emerging leaders helping to grow the sport, and performance scholars competing on national and international stages, every path is unique.
What connects them is the opportunity created through the support of donors, partners and alumni who believe in the power of sport, education and personal development.
Today, you have the chance to help write the next chapter.
Meet the Faces of Saints Golf
Different Journeys. One Programme. One Future.
The Faces of Saints Golf represent every level of the Saints Golf Programme, showcasing the diversity, ambition and impact of our community. Their stories highlight how access to coaching, competition, scholarships, mentoring, travel and personal development opportunities helps students achieve their potential both on and off the course.
As you explore their journeys, you’ll see that every bid supports far more than a single round of golf. It creates opportunities that can shape futures, transform lives and strengthen the game for generations to come.
These stories demonstrate what support makes possible: a first introduction to the game, a place within a team, access to expert coaching and high-level competition, the pursuit of ambitious goals, and experiences that leave a lasting impact. Together, they are the faces of a programme that is developing golfers, leaders and ambassadors for the sport’s future.
The auction Play some of golf’s greatest courses. Help shape the future of Saints Golf.
We are delighted to welcome you to the Saints Golf Online Auction 2026, an exclusive collection of golfing experiences supporting the University of St Andrews Saints Golf Programme.
Featuring fourballs at some of the most celebrated and historic venues in the game, this auction offers a unique opportunity to play exceptional courses while helping to raise £70,000 to provide transformational opportunities and allow talented student-athletes thrive on and off the course.
“By supporting this auction, you are also helping to write the next chapter of Saints Golf. The ambassadors featured here are just some of the students benefiting from today’s support. Your generosity will help shape the stories of the next generation of Saints Golf students, creating opportunities that last far beyond a single round of golf.”
Ian Muir, Director of Golf
Coming soon!
The Saints Golf Auction will officially launch on 4 September 2026.
Every bid is more than a golfing experience. It is an investment in opportunities that can shape futures, transform lives and open doors for talented students.
