SEARCY - In the recently released 2025 Great American Conference men's golf preseason coaches poll, the Harding Bisons have been selected as the preseason favorites, receiving five first-place votes.

Last season, the Bisons finished strong, placing second at the GAC Championships before going on to finish fifth at the NCAA Central/Midwest Regional. The team returns three All-GAC golfers, including the reigning Player of the Year, Jose Manuel Peralta. Peralta had a stellar season with four top-10 finishes, including a win at the Shadow Valley Invitational. Also returning are Dennis Staykov, a Second-Team All-GAC selection, and Jose Arzu, who earned Honorable Mention honors.

The Bisons are set to begin their fall season at The MULE tournament, hosted by Central Missouri.
