AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn head coach Nick Clinard and the men's golf program have announced their tournament schedule for the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.

"We are excited to start the season and play another outstanding tournament schedule," Clinard said. "We will play some fabulous golf courses that have hosted Major Championships, PGA Tour events and top-level amateur tournaments.

"Additionally, our schedule presents the opportunity to play on different grasses in different parts of the country throughout the season which is imperative for player development. Each event will be a great test to evaluate where we are as a team and help us prepare for the NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championship come May."
