ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's golf senior Hunter Thomson was named a Golfweek All-America honorable mention on Wednesday (June 4), becoming the first Wolverine to be honored by Golfweek since Kyle Mueller's 2018 second-team selection.
Thomson is the fifth U-M Golfweek All-America golfer recognized since the award was first presented in 1999. Thomson joins Michael Harris (2000, HM), Alexander Sitompul (2009, HM), Lion Kim (2009, HM and 2011, 3rd) and Mueller (2017, HM and 2018, 2nd) on the Maize and Blue list. Thomson is one of five Big Ten golfers to earn a selection this season, joining UCLA's Pablo Ereno (third team) and Omar Morales (honorable mention) and Illinois' Jackson Buchanan (honorable mention) and Max Herendeen (honorable mention).
An All-Big Ten first-team unanimous selection, Thomson concluded his U-M career as the program's all-time scoring leader with a 71.53 average after breaking his single-season record with his 70.24 per-round average. He became the second Wolverine, joining Mueller, to lead the team in scoring average for four straight years.
Thomson paced U-M in 13 of 14 events, including the final nine tournaments, and recorded 10 top-10 finishes, with seven in the top five. A PING All-Midwest regional selection, he won three titles, including the Canadian Collegiate Invitational (202, -14), the Boilermaker Invitational (203, -10) and the NCAA Urbana Regional (203, -10).
This season, he set a career best with 24 sub-par tallies in 41 rounds. With his 203 (-10) 54-hole NCAA regional total, he finished nine of 14 events under par.
Thomson never missed a U-M event, starting 50 consecutive tournaments. In his career, he compiled 26 top-10 finishes, 15 top-five results and four individual titles. Thomson recorded 66 sub-par rounds -- 40 of which were sub-70.
As a result of his final PGA Tour University Ranking of No. 24, Thomson earned an exempt membership on the PGA Tour Americas for the remainder of the 2025 season.
