NUEVA NAYARIT, Mexico โ Former Bulldog Garrett Endicott will make his PGA Tour debut Thursday at the VidantaWorld Mexico Open in Nueva Nayarit, Mexico. Endicott is set to tee off at 2:24 p.m. CT Thursday and 9:44 a.m. CT Friday.ย ย
Endicott played his way into the 120-player field through an 18-hole qualifier Monday, Oct. 19. Finishing at 4-under, he survived a four man playoff to clinch his spot in the field.ย ย
"It's a lifelong dream for me to compete in a PGA Tour event," Endicott said. "The whole reason I work as hard as I do is to get opportunities like this and it's just another step in the right direction to playing on the PGA Tour full time. I'm excited for what this week has in store for me."ย
The San Antonio native led the team during the 2025-26 season with a 70.63 scoring average, the second-best mark in program history. He put together 25 par-or-better rounds to tie the program's single-season record, collecting three top-five finishes along with five top-10 finishes.ย ย
An impressive third place showing at the NCAA Winston-Salem Regional highlighted his final season as a Bulldog, marking the best individual regional finish in program history. His 14-under 199 helped the team advance to the NCAA Championship and set the program record for lowest individual NCAA Regional score.ย
The two-time All-American honoree finished his four-year career as one of the most accomplished golfers in Mississippi State history. His 71.30 career stroke average and 83 rounds of par or better are both MSU records. He is tied for most career rounds in the 60s among Bulldog golfers with 42.ย
"I'm so excited for Garrett and the opportunity he has in front of him this week," head coach Dusty Smith said. "I know it's been a lifelong dream of his to play on the PGA Tour so to see it come to life definitely puts a smile on my face. We all know golf is a tough game that takes a lot of resiliency. I got to see firsthand the amount of time and hard work he put into his game to make this week a possibility. I can assure you I will be his biggest fan this week."ย
Ranked among the top 25 in the PGA Tour University rankings last season, Endicott was granted status on PGA Tour Americas. He has made three cuts in seven appearances, recording two top-10 finishes. In his last appearance at the ATB Classic he finished tied for seventh, firing an overall score of 14-under 266.ย ย
Endicott will be joined at the event by fellow MSU alum Chad Ramey. Ramey earned his first PGA Tour victory at the 2022 Corales Puntacana Championship where he shot 17-under. He will tee off at 9:11 a.m. CT on Thursday and will begin round two at 1:51 p.m. CT.ย ย
