DeLAND, Fla. – Stetson University freshman golfer Thanattasorn Supinraj has accepted an invitation to participate in the 39th annual PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship (PWCC), scheduled for May 4-6 at The Park in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The men's and women's fields each include 12 5-golfer teams and 15 individuals with the 54-hole event consisting of a single 18-hole round each day. The tournament will be televised live each afternoon from 4-7 p.m. (EDT) on the Golf Channel.
Supinraj, a native of Udon Thani, Thailand, was recently named the ASUN Conference Freshman of the Year and a member of the league's all-freshman team. He competed in six events and 18 competitive rounds during the season and registered a 73.5 scoring average.
Stetson has had a player selected to participate in the PWCC in each of the last three years. Javier Calles was selected to compete in the 2024 event at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra but was unable to attend, while Phalatphon Viboonvirlyasuakul finished in a tie for fifth place in the 2025 event at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wisc.
The PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship was created in 1986 to highlight competitive golf programs at the most underserved and underrepresented Minority-Serving Institutions in the country, and educate and inspire student-athletes to pursue career opportunities in the business of golf and beyond. PWCC is considered the most culturally significant championship in collegiate golf (75% of 2024 players identified as "non-white").
The Championship is a 54-hole, stroke-play event contested across five divisions from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).
The individual competition is open to all minority men and women student-athletes playing collegiate golf at the Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and NJCAA level, or eligible students who are enrolled in one of the PGA of America's PGA Golf Management University Programs.
