Southern Utah University fields a men's golf team in the Big Sky Conference (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 13 players, above the median of 10, with 1 head coach and 2 assistants. Team expenses were $365,784, below the median of $508k — $28,137 per roster spot, bottom quarter of Division I men's golf programs.

The school gave $2,650,690 in athletic aid across its men's teams, about $9,500 per roster spot.
