🎥  FOREVER ENSHRINED

It was a night to remember this past weekend as the #4 was forever enshrined in Auburn Baseball history.

🔼 Tourney Time. All the early morning workouts. All the extra drills. It’s all for moments like this.

Tonight in Hoover, the sixth-seeded Tigers are set to open up play at the 2026 SEC Tournament against 14th-seeded LSU. First pitch is set for 8 p.m. CT.

This week’s trip to Hoover marks Auburn’s 32nd appearance in the SEC Tournament, including its eighth under head coach Butch Thompson. The Tigers are one of three programs to finish four of the last five seasons in the top six in the league, joined by Arkansas and Georgia on the short list.

🔼 On The Prowl. 18 holes.

That’s all that separates top-ranked Auburn men’s golf from another trip to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, Calif. The Tigers currently sit in third place at 14-under-par following Tuesday’s Regional round at the University of Georgia Golf Course, where the No. 1 Tigers shot 7-under for the second consecutive day. 

Following Wednesday’s final round, the top five teams will earn a spot at the 2026 NCAA Championship, set for May 29 – June 3 at the Omni LaCosta Champions Course in Carlsbad, California. Auburn currently stands four shots ahead of sixth place. 

All five Auburn players shot even par or better in Tuesday’s middle round, with three men – Josiah Gilbert, Jake Albert and Jackson Koivun – all going subpar. 

🔼 Fore The Kids. Even though his first name is no longer part of the Pearl Family Foundation, Bruce Pearl remains one of the driving forces behind the Fore the Children Golf Classic, now in its 13th year. 

Shortly after arriving on the Plains in 2014, Bruce and his wife, Brandy, began a partnership with Children’s Harbor, a nearby non-profit that provides no-cost services to children and families facing health challenges.

Monday’s event was the first for Steven Pearl as Auburn’s head coach.
