2026 GCAA/PING Division III All-America Team

NORMAN, Okla. – Elliot Parker has done it again.
 
For the fourth time in his career, the recent graduate has captured a spot on the Division III PING All-America Men's Golf Team, as selected by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
 
In the process, Parker becomes just the second four-year all-American in the history of Drew University athletics, joining former swimming standout Lauren Kenworthy Jarrell C'99.
 
Parker was one of just 53 golfers nation-wide who were named to the team. He also earned third-team accolades following each of his first two seasons at Drew, and he captured honorable mention recognition last year.
 
Also a four-time all-region selection, Parker capped a tremendous career with a stellar senior campaign. He finished seventh at the NCAA Division III Championships last month, where he tied for seventh place with a 72-hole score of 283 (69-70-74-70), which was just six strokes behind the individual champion. His efforts helped lead the Rangers to a 15th-place finish in the team standings after they became the first golf team in Drew and Landmark Conference history to make the final cut.
 
For the season, Parker averaged a team-leading and school-record 71.36 over 25 rounds. He finished the year ranked 29th in Division III in the final Clippd rankings and claimed medalist honors in five of his 11 events for the season. He turned in a tremendous performance at the Landmark Conference Championships, where he fired a 6-under-par 66 in the second round to win by six strokes with a 138 (72-66), capturing Landmark Conference Player of the Year honors for the second time in his career. Parker also picked up victories at Conquer the Island (68), The Ruckus (74-66=140), the Landmark Conference Fall Preview (71-69=140), and The Gauntlet (66-66=132).
 
Parker helped Drew win six events this past season, with the primary team winning its last three prior to the NCAA Championships. Among the squad's most impressive performances was its victory at the prestigious Camp Lejeune Intercollegiate on April 10-12, as the Rangers defeated a number of nationally-ranked teams, including then-No. 10 Oglethorpe.
 
For the year, Drew averaged a school-record 293.8 per round – over three strokes better than the team's previous record set last season. The Rangers finished the season ranked No. 41 in the final Clippd Division III rankings.
