FAYETTEVILLE – The Arkansas men’s golf team closes the fall portion of the 2024-25 season on Monday (Oct. 21) at the fourth annual Jackson T. Stephens Cup, played this year at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club (par 70).
The event features 36 holes on Monday and 18 final holes of stroke play to determine the individual champion and seedings for match play on Tuesday. The top four men’s and the top four women’s teams will advance to match play on Wednesday. GOLF Channel will provide coverage each afternoon.
This will be the third event the Arkansas men’s team has played this fall with men and women playing at the same time, joining the Folds of Honor Collegiate and the Blessings Collegiate Invitational.

The Razorbacks will take an all underclassman lineup, with two sophomores and two freshmen, to this year’s Stephens Cup.
Headlining the list is second-year Razorback Thomas Curry. The Texarkana product tied for 34th last year but fired a final-round 69. He has been in the starting lineup for the first three fall events and is coming off a fourth-place finish at the Hamptons Intercollegiate.
Mark Stockdale, a sophomore transfer from UCA, will be playing in his fourth event of the fall and second in the starting lineup. He is tied for the team lead with three rounds at par or better this fall and is coming off a 17th-place finish at the Hamptons.
