EVANSTON, Ill. (August 12, 2024) – Northwestern University head men's golf coach David Inglis announced the addition of Aidan Kramer (Oviedo, Fla./Hagerty/Georgia Tech) to his 2024-25 roster on Monday. Kramer, a graduate transfer, joins the 'Cats after spending four years at Georgia Tech.
"We are excited to welcome Aidan to Evanston this fall," Inglis commented. "Aidan brings with him maturity and experience after four years at Georgia Tech and I know he is excited about the prospect of chasing a championship in his final season of eligibility at Northwestern."
Kramer amassed a 71.93 scoring average across 29 rounds of action during his time with the Yellow Jackets. He tallied 19 rounds at par or better, with five of those coming in the 60s.
A native of Oviedo, Fla., Kramer is coming off his best season to date in 2023-24, posting a 71.57 stroke average in 14 rounds of play. He totaled 10 rounds at par or better and recorded his first career top-10 finish, sharing ninth at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate Invitational with a five-under-par 211 (70-70-71).
In addition to his collegiate success, Kramer has also featured prominently on the amateur level, registering a pair of victories as part of a group of six top-10 finishes. He picked up his first win at the 2021 Yamaha Atlanta Open in Kennesaw, Georgia, prevailing in a three-man playoff. Kramer went on to be victorious again at the 2022 Rice Planters Amateur, finishing at 11-under-par after 54 holes before edging then-teammate Andy Mao in the first hole of a playoff.
A four-time All-Seminole Athletic Conference (SAC) honoree during his time at Hagerty High School, Kramer earned a runner-up finish at the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Class 3A State Championship as part of a junior campaign that also saw him take home the SAC individual title.
Kramer joins first-year Mark Gazi in Northwestern's incoming class for the 2024-25 season. The Wildcats are set to return seven letterwinners from last season's team that surged to the program's first Big Ten Conference title since 2006. That group includes a trio of returning All-Big Ten selections, led by Daniel Svärd, who became only the third two-time Big Ten individual champion in program history.
