After an eighth-place finish in Knoxville to kick-off the 2024-2025 season, the No. 17-ranked Jackets (according to Bushnell/Golfweek D1 Coaches Poll) traveled up to the Chicago Suburbs to play in the Fighting Illini Invitational. This tournament, hosted at Olympia Fields Country Club (OFCC), perennially provides the Jackets with a championship test against a national caliber field. OFCC has hosted multiple major championships (both women’s and men’s), a U.S. Amateur Championship, and multiple recent FedEx Cup Playoff Events. Last year, Tech finished in third place in a weather- shortened event. For Tech to win at this historic venue, they would have to beat 14 other teams, including eight ranked above them nationally.
