ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Since the inception of the Mountain West prior to the 1999-2000 academic year, one of the constants within men's golf at the conference level has been the University of New Mexico and their prominence near or at the top of the league.
The most-recent completed men's golf season of 2018-19 served as the 20th season of golf within the Mountain West. In the 19 seasons prior, the UNM men's golf team had won six MW Championships and had finished runner-up three other times; giving the Lobos nearly half of the league's existence worth of conference superiority.
