AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn men’s golf and head coach Nick Clinard announced the team’s schedule for the 2024-24 season Tuesday. The schedule features 11 team events and two individual tournaments over the course of the regular season.
“Super excited about the quality of this schedule and the caliber of competition we will face playing in these tournaments,” Clinard said. “There is no room to bring anything but our best. We’re going to be facing elite teams and elite players from around the country every time we step out onto the course.”
The road to a repeat national title begins Sept. 9 at the Inverness Intercollegiate in Toledo, Ohio. After the Inverness (Sept. 9-10), the Tigers head to the Valero Texas Collegiate (Sept. 21-23), the Ben Hogan Collegiate (Sept. 30 – Oct. 1) and the Williams Cup (Oct. 20-22) before concluding the fall season at the prestigious East Lake Cup (Oct. 28-30) in Atlanta, Georgia.
East Lake participation is on an invite-only basis as each year the top four teams from the previous NCAA Championship are invited to face off in the tournament which features one round of stroke play followed by two rounds of matches.
Auburn will also send individual players to gain experience at the MartinFed Invitational at Turtle Point Golf Club in Florence, Alabama on Oct. 14-15.
For the eighth time in the last 10 seasons, the Tigers are set to kickstart the spring at the Amer Ari Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawai’i on Feb. 6-8. Next, Auburn heads to the Southern Highlands Collegiate (March 2-4), the General Hackler Championship (March 16-18), the Valspar Collegiate (March 24-25), the Mason Rudolph Championship (April 4-6), and closes out the regular season with the Invitational at The Ford (April 14-15).
The Thomas Sharkey Individual Intercollegiate will provide another opportunity for players to gain experience on Feb. 1-2 at the GSU Golf Club in Statesboro, Georgia.
Postseason play commences April 23-27 at the 2025 SEC Championship, which will once again be hosted by Seaside Golf Club on St. Simons Island, Georgia. NCAA Regionals are set for May 12-14 at one of six potential host sites. Auburn’s venue will be determined in the weeks leading up to the event.
The season culminates May 23-28 at the 2025 NCAA Championship hosted by the Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, California for the second season in a row.
