2023 NAIA Women's Golf National Championship Qualifiers Announced

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – (Championship Information) The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is pleased to reveal the competing teams and individuals for the 28th Annual NAIA Women's Golf National Championship, running from May 23-26 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. 

The 156-player field consists of 19 automatic qualifying teams, who won their respective conference/independent tournament or were ranked in the final Top 25 for the conference’s second automatic berth. Automatic berths are given to conferences who have six or more schools declare at the beginning of the season. Conferences with 12+ schools who finish the conference tournament are eligible for a second automatic qualifier, as long as the second team is rated in the final regular-season Coaches’ Top 25 Poll. 

One host berth was given to St. Ambrose (Iowa) and 10 total at-large team berths. At-large teams were determined using the final regular-season Coaches’ Top 25 Poll released today. To access the poll, CLICK HERE.

To receive an individual automatic berth, the conference medalist must be from a team who did not win the conference team title, or be an All-Tournament Team honoree from the previous year’s national championships that did not qualify otherwise. To earn an at-large individual berth, the selection is determined by the NAIA Women’s Golf Executive Committee.

First and second round pairings and tee times for the championships will be released on Monday, May 15th on NAIA.org.
