The Masters
How many Bucs are playing in the Masters? ETSU has made a significant investment in it's golf program....but it seems to me ole Hal Morrison's boys have more significant accomplishments than those of Fred Warren. Larry Hinson played on the PGA tour along with J.C. Snead....although Snead was a baseball player for ETSU ...not golf.

McIlroy signed to play golf at ETSU, then decided to go pro instead. I think it took ETSU golf a few years to overcome that loss.

The loss of signee Ben Enoch in a car crash in 2009 was painful in many ways. Not only had he just made the Walker Cup team as a high schooler, but it understandably distressed his older brother. Ben would probably have stayed 4 years and been a top 10 golfer. That was a huge loss, and probably hurt more than Rory, who had said that he might have only stayed a year or two.
Also FYI: One of the guys is currently ranked #23.
