Golfweek National Golf Invitational

The Golfweek National Golf Invitational is a prestigious NCAA postseason men's collegiate golf tournament featuring 10 top teams competing in a 54-hole stroke play format. The event is held over three days, with 18 holes played each day, typically in May, at the Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona. The course is a par-72 layout measuring approximately 7,323 yards. Teams field five players with the top four scores counting toward the team total each round. Invitations are extended based on rankings including Golfweek/Sagarin and Golfstat standings, giving strong mid-major programs and those outside of the NCAA Championship bracket a postseason competitive opportunity. The tournament is designed as an equivalent to college basketball's NIT, providing valuable postseason experience for participating teams.
