Field Set for 2025 NAIA Women's Golf Championship; Pairings & Tee Times Announced May 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Thirty teams and six individuals have qualified for the 30th-Annual NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship in Ypsilanti, Mich. The 2025 championship will be played May 13-16, at Eagle Crest Golf Club.
The 156-player field is comprised of 18 teams that earned automatic qualifications by winning a conference tournament championship, and the remaining 12 teams earned a place in the championship through at-large selection, determined using the final edition of the 2024-25 NAIA Women’s Golf Coaches’ Top 25 Rating.
Automatic team qualifiers are awarded to conferences with six or more schools that declare intent to compete at the beginning of the season.
Six individual qualifiers are also in the field, including two that qualified automatically by winning individual medalist honors at their respective conference championships. To receive an individual automatic berth, the individual must be a conference medalist from a team that did not win the conference championship, or be an All-tournament team honoree from the previous season’s national championship that did not qualify otherwise.
Four more individual at-large selections are in the field, as 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 5, on NAIA.org.
