Auburn, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Arizona State, Flordia State and Tennessee earned top seeds when the NCAA men’s golf committee announced on Wednesday the 81 schools and 45 individuals to play in the six 2024 NCAA Men’s Regional tournaments being held around the country May 13-15.
The top five teams from each regional and the low individual not on those teams advance to the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif., May 24-29.
Thirteen SEC teams earned NCAA postseason berths, the most of any conference. The Big 12 got 10 teams into the field while the ACC and Pac 12 each had eight teams. The Big Ten has six teams qualify.
Florida earned a No. 3 seed in the West Lafayette Regional as it aims to defend its team title from a year ago. The last school to repeat as men’s winners was Alabama in 2013 and 2014. Gator senior Fred Biondi earned medalist honors a year ago.
This is the 15th year the men’s national championship is including match play to decide the team champion. The tournament begins with a 72-hole stroke-play segment to crown an individual champion (who will earn exemptions into the U.S. Open this summer and next year’s Masters) and whittle the field down to eight schools. Those teams will then compete in a head-to-head match-play bracket.
Thirty-eight programs have advanced to match play since the format was adopted in 2009, with Oklahoma State having the most appearances with nine, followed by Illinois and Texas with seven.
