DI men’s Golf Championships Schedule 2025-
-
Selections release | April 30
-
Regionals | May 12-14
-
Championship | May 23-28
How the Championship Works-
Thirty qualifying teams and six individuals (not on those qualifying teams) will compete in the finals after six 54-hole regional tournaments. For each of the three regionals, there will be 13 teams and 10 persons (who are not on those teams), whereas the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals (who are not on those teams). The teams in the bottom five will go to the finals, as will the low-ranking individual who is not in those teams.
The 54-hole stroke play will be played by all 30 teams and six players. After 54 holes of competition, the top 15 teams and the top 9 players who are not on an advancing team will move on to another day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the winner of the 72-hole stroke-play individual title. After 72 hours of play, the top eight teams will advance to a bracket.
Five points will be available in the team match-play competition, with one point given for each individual match. The teams that win move on to the semifinals and then the championship game. The team that advances or, in the case of the final match, is crowned the national champion is the first to win three points in the team match.
