    Texas, Florida State, Oklahoma State, Clemson, Oklahoma and Wake Forest earned top seeds when the NCAA men’s golf committee announced on Wednesday the 81 schools and 45 individuals to play in the six NCAA Men’s Regional tournaments May 17-19.

    The return of the NCAA postseason is a welcome sight after the 2020 NCAA Championship was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Defending NCAA team champion Stanford earned the sixth seed in the Albuquerque Regional. The Cardinal has just one carryover player from the squad that won the title in 2019 at The Blessings in Fayetteville, Ark.—Henry Shrimp. Stanford is one of eight Pac-12 teams.

    The SEC is the conference with the most schools selected for regionals (11), followed by the ACC (10) and the Big 12 (eight). The Big Ten had five schools.

    The top five teams from each regional and the low individual not on those teams advances to NCAA Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, May 28-June 2.

    This is the 12th year the men’s national championship including match play to decide the team champion. The tournament begins with a stroke-play segment to determine the individual champion (72 holes) and whittle the field down to eight schools who then compete in a head-to-head match-play bracket. Thirty-four different programs have advanced to match play since the format was adopted in 2009, with Oklahoma State having the most appearances with seven, followed by Illinois and Texas with six.
