Caiden Gant '26 Recruiting Profile

I will be looking to join a US university/college in 2026. I have played golf since I was just 2, I love the game, I love to practice, being coached and most of all competing. I know I have all the skill sets, temperament and drive to compete at a high college level. I am currently in year 2 of a golfing programme at The Golf College in Lindfield, England, which is run by Dennis Pugh (coach to many professionals) and Paul Lyon’s (Ex Tour Player), which involves staying away from home for 5 nights a week, it also involves training and playing in Portugal for 2-3 months each year from Jan - March. I am very individually focused and driven but am also a  team player and am certain I will make an invaluable contribution to a US golfing team in 2026 when I complete my education and studies at the golf college in the UK. 

It has been an ambition and aim of mine to play golf and study in the US for many years. I am hoping coaches a colleges can see that there is a technically proficient, highly driven, determined and extremely talented golfer, who in 2026 will have had a number of years of competitive junior golf and adult competition events to call upon and will be a player that is a huge asset to a program willing to coach and enrol me. 

I understand the importance of a good education alongside the golfing skills required and am currently studying Sporting Performance and Sporting Excellence at College level here in the UK. After year one I was awarded academic student of the year, 1st in my class (year group). I enjoy studying and learning and am currently achieving a distinction level 3 triple star (highest grade available/Equivalent to 3 A's at A Level) in both subjects. I like to study in areas that include Business, Sport, Exercise, The human body, PGA qualifications,
