2024 NAIA Women's Golf National Championship Qualifiers Announced
The NAIA has announced the competing teams and individuals for the 29th Annual NAIA Women's Golf National Championship, running from May 14-17 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. California Pacific Conference team champion Embry-Riddle is among the field of 30 teams. The Eagles, ranked No. 14 in the latest NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll, are the only team to win a Cal Pac title since women's golf became a sponsored sport in 2014. They will be making their 10th trip to the National Championship, where they have recorded two top-10 finishes: 2nd place in 2017 and 6th place last year. In that span, ERAU has had 13 golfers earn All-America recognition.
The 156-player field consists of 19 automatic qualifying teams, who won their respective conference/independent tournament or were ranked in the final Top 25 for the conference's second automatic berth. Automatic berths are given to conferences who have six or more schools declare at the beginning of the season. Conferences with 12+ schools who finish the conference tournament are eligible for a second automatic qualifier, as long as the second team is rated in the final regular-season Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
Eleven teams reached the championship field through an at-large selection. At-large teams were determined using the final regular-season Coaches' Top 25 Poll released today. To access the poll, CLICK HERE.
To receive an individual automatic berth, the conference medalist must be from a team who did not win the conference team title or be an All-Tournament Team honoree from the previous year's national championships that did not qualify otherwise. To earn an at-large individual berth, the selection is 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 6th on NAIA.org.
