Eden Mill Distillery Renews Saints Golf Partnership

Eden Mill St Andrews Distillery has renewed its partnership with the University of St Andrews’ student golf programme, continuing as an Official Partner of Saints Golf for the 2025–26 academic year.

The renewal comes at a high point for the University’s golf programme, following a historic season of success both domestically and internationally. The Saints Golf Performance Team was crowned British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) national match champions for the third time in four years, cementing its reputation as one of the leading university golf programmes in the UK. The season also delivered a rare double triumph in the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews Student Tour Series Order of Merit, with golf scholars Judd Sundelson and Judy Joo winning the Men’s and Women’s Order of Merit titles respectively.

Eden Mill’s collaboration with Saints Golf reflects a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and heritage, values that connect the distillery and the University. The renewed agreement ensures that Eden Mill will continue to play an integral role in supporting one of the UK’s most successful student golf programmes. 

The partnership also highlights Eden Mill’s connection to the St Andrews community. As Scotland’s first single-site carbon-neutral distillery, Eden Mill’s investment in sustainability mirrors the University’s broader environmental ambitions, contributing to the community’s vision of progress. Through its initiatives, the partnership aims to help and support the next generation of student athletes while promoting responsible production and local craftsmanship in St Andrews. 

Eden Mill shared a post on Instagram celebrating a recent visit of golf scholars to the distillery, saying: “Over the weekend, we welcomed some of the @ustagolfscholars team to the distillery. They were walked around our new home by Euan and then showed us how it’s done on our golf simulator. Their visit follows the announcement of our renewed sponsorship […] We are looking forward to watching what they'll go on to achieve over the course of this year!”

The University’s golf programme continues to expand, offering opportunities for golfers of all levels, from beginners to elite international competitors. With over 350 members, Saints Golf is now one of the largest and most inclusive university golf communities in the country. Its pathway system allows students to progress from introductory coaching sessions, delivered in partnership with the St Andrews Links Trust, to competing on the international stage.

The University’s golf scholarships are supported by a network of partners, including The R&A, Saints Sport, the St Andrews Links Trust, and the 600 Club, a global community of donors who help student athletes thrive in the home of golf. 

Eden Mill’s continued support follows a series of renewed collaborations that celebrate the University’s golfing heritage.
