Columbus, Ga. – LSU men’s golfer, Árni Sveinsson, was one of 25 athletes named to the 2025-26 Haskins Award Fina Fall Watch List on Tuesday morning.
The Fred Haskins Award is voted on by only college golfers, coaches and members of the golf media.

Named in honor of Fred Haskins, the award is managed by the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top male golfer at the end of the season.
Sveinsson is closing a stellar fall season where he finished with an individual title at the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational.
The Icelander finished 2024-25 second on the team in stroke average at 70.25 for 36 rounds, making him third best in school history behind Sam Burns (2016-17) and Algot Kleen (2024-25).
