Men’s Golf Adds Three to 2023-24 Roster

Old Hawthorne

The Missouri men’s golf team completed its roster for the 2023-24 season with the addition of three newcomers in Trevor Mierl, Adam Miller and Virgilio Paz.

“We are very happy with the guys that have recently decided to join Mizzou Golf,” said first-year head coach Glen Millican. “Trevor, Virgilio and Adam combined with Brock and Peyton are great additions to the four returning from last season. Our roster gives us a lot of depth with strong leadership at the top with four upperclassmen. I am looking forward to watching this group work together and compete this season!”

The three newcomers join November NLI signees Peyton Purvis and Brock Snyder to form a five-golfer class. They join a Missouri team that returns its top four golfers in stroke average from the 2022-23 season, where the team earned its second-straight trip to both the NCAA Regionals and SEC Quarterfinals.
