U.S. lawmakers introduce bill to limit international players in college golf

Sen. Jon Husted and Rep. Tim Walberg have introduced the TEAM USA Act, aiming to limit international student-athletes on college golf rosters to 20 percent. The proposed legislation seeks to protect opportunities for American athletes by reducing roster spots for foreign players, which have surged nearly threefold since 2001. If passed, the bill would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 and take effect in the 2029-30 academic year, allowing institutions time to adjust their recruiting practices. The initiative reflects concerns about the impact of international recruitment on American college athletes’ scholarship opportunities.
