The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2024 All-Conference awards for men's golf. Individually, Methodist's Chase Walts was named Player of the Year while his coach, Steve Conley, earned Coach of the Year honors. William Peace's Ian Williams was named Rookie of the Year to close out the individual honors. Also, the USA South recognized an All-Sportsmanship Team, consisting of one member from each competing school.

All awards, with the exception of the Coach of the Year, are determined by the national rankings as accumulated by Clippd, the official ranking service of the NCAA, from Thursday, April 18, 2024. The maximum all-conference honoree allotment per team is five players. The coach of the year was determined by a vote of the USA South men's golf coaches.

Walts, a junior from Flower Mound, Texas, becomes the third consecutive Monarch to be named USA South Men's Golfer of the Year. It is the 17th time a Methodist golfer has been awarded the League's player of the year. Walts currently is the top-ranked player in Division III according to Clippd and leads the USA South with a 72.1 scoring average. In 15 rounds played, Walts has recorded eight rounds of par or better, finishing in the top-five of two events. For his efforts, Walts earned First Team All-Conference honors and was named USA South Golfer of the Week twice this season.

Williams, a freshman from Cary, North Carolina, becomes the first Pacer men's golfer to be named USA South Rookie of the Year. He currently is the 267th-ranked player in Division III according to Clippd while leading all rookies in USA South with a 74.7 stroke average. In 18 rounds played, nine events, Williams has recorded five rounds of par or better with three top-five finishes, including a victory at the Premier Collegiate Tournament Spring Break Challenge. During the season, Williams collected USA South Golfer of the Week twice and USA South Rookie of the Week five times.

Conley, in his 37th year at the helm of Methodist, earns USA South Coach of the Year honors for the fourth consecutive season and the 26th time in his career which continues to be the most of any coach of any sport in League history. He has guided his team to a number-one ranking in Division III according to Clippd. The Monarchs have a 280.6 stroke average in 23 rounds played this season, earning three first-place finishes in the eight events entered.
