AUSTIN, Texas – The No. 1-seeded Tennessee men’s golf team is set to begin NCAA play this week, competing in the Austin Regional.
The Austin Regional, along with six other regionals across the country, is scheduled to run from Monday through Wednesday with an 18-hole round of competition each day. The top five teams from each regional will then advance to the NCAA Championships—set to be contested from May 24-29 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa’s Champions Course in Carlsbad, California.
This week’s NCAA Regional is set to be contested at the 7,412-yard, par-71 University of Texas Golf Club.
Tennessee has qualified for the NCAA Regionals in each of Brennan Webb‘s seasons as head coach (with the exception of 2020’s cancelation).
Highlighted by a program-record-tying three team tournament titles and a tied-for-first finish in stroke play at the SEC Championship, Tennessee has finished inside the top three in six tournaments this season.
