2022-23 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Final (April 14)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) wraps up its wire-to-wire hold on the number one spot in the country during the final NAIA Men's Golf Coaches Top 25 Poll, earning 17 of the first-place votes. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) received the final three votes to hold onto second place, Dalton State (Ga.) remains third and Bellevue (Neb.) fourth. Coastal Georgia leaps up three spots to join the top five.  

Poll Methodology

• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. 
• Each conference is represented by one rater. 
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list. 
• The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on. 
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.
