San Diego State University men’s golfer Harry Takis has been named to the 2026 Haskins Award presented by Stifel Postseason Watch List, according to a May 6 announcement from the Haskins Foundation. Takis is one of fifteen players selected for consideration for the award, which recognizes the outstanding college golfer of the year.
The recognition comes after Takis finished third at the Mountain West Championship, held May 3-5, where he completed play at 13-under-par. This season, Takis is ranked fourth in the latest Scoreboard powered by clippd computer ratings and holds an average of 69.22 strokes per round across nine tournaments and twenty-seven rounds. His scoring average marks a single-season record for San Diego State University now that he has enough rounds to qualify.
Takis’s performance includes one tournament victory, two runner-up finishes, five top-five placements, six top-ten showings, and eight appearances in the top twenty out of nine events this season. With fifty qualifying rounds required for career records since SDSU began tracking statistics in 1993-94, Takis also holds the program’s lowest career scoring average at 70.34 over sixty-two rounds.
Earlier this year in March, Takis was included among twenty players on the spring watch list for this award. The final ten-player watch list will be released on May 22. The third annual Haskins Honors presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 at The Grand Blanc near Omni La Costa’s first green and will include finalists with their coaches and parents present.
All Division I golfers, coaches, and golf sports information directors are eligible to vote on the Haskins Award through June 1 following NCAA Championships stroke play. Notable previous winners of this award include Tiger Woods (1996), Phil Mickelson (1990-92), Justin Thomas (2012), Matt Kuchar (1998), Stewart Cink (1995), Patrick Cantlay (2011), Sahith Theegala (2020) and Ludvig Aberg (2023).
