Matt Hill (2026) - NC State Athletic Hall of Fame

Matt Hill

Induction:
2026

Matt Hill delivered one of the greatest seasons in collegiate golf history in 2009, culminating with his victory at the NCAA Individual Championship. That year, Hill captured eight titles—becoming only the second player ever to win that many tournaments in a single season. He also became just the second golfer in NCAA history to win his conference championship, an NCAA Regional, and the NCAA Championship in the same year. The only other player to achieve those feats was Stanford's Tiger Woods in 1996. Hill capped his remarkable season by winning the Haskins Award, given annually to the nation's top collegiate golfer, and by being named the 2009 ACC Male Athlete of the Year. Over his NC State career, Hill won 10 tournaments, and his 70.10 stroke average during the 2008–09 season remains the best single-season mark in program history.
