South Carolina men’s golf coach Rob Bradley added two players to the 2027 recruiting class: in-state standout Dawson Szabo and Italian amateur Giampaolo Gagliardi. Both signed financial aid agreements and are set to join the Gamecocks in fall 2027.

By the Numbers
  • Szabo recorded 7 top-10 finishes in 10 high school events last spring.
  • Gagliardi posted 15 top-10 finishes and 3 wins in 34 World Amateur Golf Ranking events over the past 2 years.
  • Szabo won the 2025 South Carolina Junior State Championship at 9-under 204.
Bottom Line

South Carolina adds a proven local winner and an internationally experienced prospect, strengthening its roster with two golfers who have already delivered results in high-level competition.
