KANSAS CITY, Mo. – (Championship Information) The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has officially announced the field for the 71st Annual NAIA Men’s Golf National Championships. The 2023 edition of the event will see 29 teams and 11 individuals compete at Las Sendas Golf Club from May 16-19 in Mesa, Ariz. 

The 156-player field consists of 22 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 Benedictine (Ariz.) and six total at-large team berths, highlighted by Oklahoma City who has an impressive resume of 11 team championships and 5 individual titles in program history. 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 Men’s Golf Executive Committee.

First and second round pairings and tee times for the championships will be released on Monday, May 8th on NAIA.org.
