2023-24 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - No. 4 (April 26)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dalton State (Ga.) makes it two rankings in a row where they lead the NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25, receiving 17 of the 19 first-place votes. Keiser (Fla.) gets the other two first-place votes and sits in second while OUAZ (Ariz.) remains third and Texas Wesleyan stays fourth.

Ranking Methodology
• The ranking 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 rater 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.
