Rams Club Names Men's Golf Scholarship After Davis Love III

The University of North Carolina and The Rams Club announced the Davis Love III Scholarship for Men's Golf during the UNC-NC State men's basketball game Saturday at the Dean E. Smith Center.

Love played at Carolina from 1982-85 and has been one of the most accomplished golfers on the PGA Tour for three decades. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2017, won the PGA Championship in 1997, captained the United States' Ryder Cup winning team in 2016 and won 21 times on the PGA Tour.

"It was an absolute thrill to have Davis back on campus and with the Carolina family," says UNC head coach Andrew DiBitetto. "Today's announcement marks a significant day for Carolina Golf. Davis is one of the most successful Tar Heels ever and he is also one of the most accomplished professional golfers to ever play the game. The Davis Love III scholarship will have a major impact on our program and student-athletes moving forward."

Love earned All-America and All-ACC honors as a Tar Heel in 1983, 1984 and 1985. He led Carolina to ACC titles in 1983 and 1984 and won the individual champion in 1984 at the famed Pinehurst No. 2.

Love has won two Players Championships, played on six Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams and is a four-time World Cup of Golf champion. He is the only player to win events on the PGA Tour in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.

In 2008, Love won the Payne Stewart Award, which the PGA Tour presents to the player who best embodies character, charity and sportsmanship.
