Joshua Hong (b. 2007) is a Korean-Mexican collegiate golfer who completed his freshman season in NCAA Division I at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).

During the 2025–26 season, he competed for UTSA Men’s Golf and established a completed freshman-season record built around scoring consistency, lineup reliability, and documented low-round capability.

He also works separately with Bryan Gathright on technical development outside the college schedule.

His early athletic experience included structured training, organized competition, coordination, footwork, and competitive habits developed before his focus became centered on competitive golf.

Competitive Development

Joshua’s completed freshman season at UTSA reflected a process-driven approach to collegiate competition, with emphasis on repeatable performance, competitive growth, and long-term progression within NCAA Division I golf.
