Buckeye Classic

The Buckeye Classic is an NCAA Division I men's golf tournament hosted by Ohio State University, played at Columbus Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. The course is a par-72, measuring 7,077 yards. The event is a 54-hole stroke play competition held over three days, typically in April. Around 13 teams compete, including Ohio State, Michigan, Miami (OH), Kent State, Eastern Kentucky, Abilene Christian, Bowling Green State, Colgate, Dayton, Purdue Fort Wayne, Le Moyne, and others. The tournament features a 5-count-4 scoring format and serves as an important spring season test for Midwestern and regional programs. Ohio State claimed the 2025 team title at 18-under par, edging Michigan by one shot. The tournament showcases strong individual performances, with top players posting under-par cumulative scores. The Buckeye Classic replaced the Hoosier Collegiate on the schedule and provides valuable early spring competition at a challenging, historic venue.
