The field for the third edition of the Men’s National Golf Invitational is set.
The postseason collegiate event, which is equivalent to the NIT in college basketball, is scheduled May 15-18 at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona.
Presented in partnership with Golfweek, the 2025 Men’s NGI will feature 10 college teams competing in a 54-hole stroke-play tournament. There is one returning team from the 2024 field, Richmond, with nine newcomers hoping for a chance to claim a postseason title.
In May 2022, the NCAA announced it would allow schools to play in one season-ending event. By July 2022, the inaugural National Golf Invitational was created in a partnership between Golfweek and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes, with Golfweek’s Lance Ringler serving as the Invitational’s tournament director.
The teams competing in the 2025 Women’s National Golf Invitational, scheduled for May 8-11, were announced last week.
Texas State captured the inaugural men’s title in 2023 while Washington State claimed the trophy last year.
