ALL-AMERICAN INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESENTED by COCA-COLA HISTORY
For years, the All-American Intercollegiate presented by Coca-Cola ranked as one of the nation's premier collegiate tournaments, featuring some of the country's top student-athletes and teams.
The tournament was played every season from 1955 to 1990. After a one-year break in 1992, the tournament picked up and was played again from 1992 to 1997. The All-American Intercollegiate presented by Coca-Cola resumed in 2006 and was played each season through the 2008-09 campaign.
This marks the second straight season in which the Cougars have hosted this tournament. A year ago, Arkansas captured the team title with a score of 9-under 855 with Razorback Taylor Moore earning medalist honors at 9-under 207.
The Cougars lead the way in their tournament with 23 team titles and 20 individual championships during its history
