Who is going dancing, and where?
NCAA Division I men’s golf regionals will be contested May 12-14 at six different sites with 13 or 14 teams at each site. The 81 teams consist of 28 automatic qualifiers that won their respective conference championships and 53 at-large bids. Five teams will advance out of each regional to the NCAA Championship at La Costa.
The selection show is scheduled for April 30 at 1 p.m. ET on Golf Channel.
