Ole Miss senior golfer Tom Fischer
COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Haskins Foundation announced their list of finalists for the 2026 Haskins Award presented by Stifel on Friday, selecting Ole Miss senior Tom Fischer to the group.
The Birmingham, Alabama native most recently helped Ole Miss take third place at the NCAA Winston-Salem Regional, shooting three consecutive rounds of three under-par 68’s to finish in the top five. He sits among the nation’s best among numerous polls and leaderboards, owning the No. 10 spot on the Scoreboard individual rankings, No. 13 on the PGA Tour U rankings, and No. 23 on the WAGR.
He’s accumulated four top five and five top 10 finishes on the season and owns a team-best stroke average of 69.64. While the team still has more to play for, Fischer’s current stroke average would rank as the third-best in a single season in school history.
The complete list of the 10 finalists for the 2026 Haskins Award includes: Kihei Akina (BYU), Paul Chang (Virginia), Mahanth Chirravuri (Pepperdine), Ryder Cowan (Oklahoma), Tom Fischer (Ole Miss), Ben James (Virginia), William Jennings (Alabama), Jackson Koivun (Auburn), Christiaan Maas (Texas), and Preston Stout (Oklahoma State).
Fischer and the rest of the No. 9 Ole Miss men’s golf team are preparing for the 2026 NCAA Championship, which will begin on Friday, May 29 at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
