The Nebraska women’s golf team concludes its 2023-24 regular-season tournament schedule by traveling to Columbus, Ohio for the Therese Hession Buckeye Invitational, April 13-14.
The Huskers will take on a 12-team field loaded with 11 Big Ten Conference teams on the par-72, 6,319-yard layout of the Scarlet Course on the Ohio State campus. The Buckeye Invitational will serve as a preview to next week’s Big Ten Championship (April 19-21) at the Bulle Rock Golf Club in Havre de Grace, Md.
The Buckeye Invitational will tee off on Saturday, April 13 with a shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. (CT). After playing 36 holes on Saturday, golfers in the six-count-four team format will close the tournament with Sunday’s final-round shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. (CT).
The field features 11 top-100 teams, including No. 30 Michigan State, No. 32 Purdue, No. 42 Ohio State, No. 57 Minnesota, No. 64 Illinois, No. 65 Kent State, No. 66 Nebraska, No. 70 Wisconsin, No. 75 Indiana, No. 88 Rutgers and No. 93 Iowa along with No. 106 Penn State.
