2024 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship |
The NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, played in late May or early June, is the top annual competition in U.S. men's collegiate golf.
The teams that win their respective Division I conference championships are given automatic spots in the regionals. A selection committee decides which other teams play in the regionals. The top teams in each regional advance to the championship. In addition, the best player in each tournament from teams not qualified also advance to the next round as individual competitors.
Formerly, it was a stroke play team competition, but starting in 2009, the competition was changed to a stroke play/match play competition with the top eight teams after 54 holes of stroke play being seeded and concluding with an eight-team match play playoff. An award is also given for the lowest-scoring individual competitor.
Many individual winners have gone on to have successful careers on the PGA Tour, including 1961 champion Jack Nicklaus, 1967 champion Hale Irwin, 1996 champion Tiger Woods, and three-time champions Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson.
As of 2024, the individual champion receives an invitation to the following year's Masters Tournament, provided that he remains an amateur at the time of the Masters.
The NCAA started sponsoring the golf championship in 1939; the previous 41 championships were conferred by the National Intercollegiate Golf Association. [2]
