LUBBOCK, Texas \u2014\u00a0The No. 7 Texas Tech men’s golf team was selected on Wednesday to participate in\u00a0the 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships, announced live on the Golf Channel. The Red Raiders, an at-large selection, were placed in the Corvallis\u00a0Regional, hosted by Oregon State, May 18-20.<\/p>\n

The Corvallis\u00a0Regional will be played at Trysting Tree Golf Club. The course was designed by architect Ted Robinson Sr., and is the home of the Beavers men’s and women’s golf teams. It\u00a0is a links inspired golf course along the Willamette River opened in 1988 featuring bentgrass greens and fairways. In 2017, the course opened its new routing featuring three newly created holes by Northwest native and former Oregon State player, Dan Hixson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The regional will be the 24th consecutive appearance for Texas Tech in the NCAA Tournament\u00a0under head coach Greg Sands<\/a>, and the 27th\u00a0overall for the men’s golf program.<\/p>\n

Arkansas enters as the 1-seed ahead\u00a0of the Red Raiders at No. 2. Nationally-speaking, the Razorbacks are ranked No. 6 in the country while the Red Raiders are ranked No. 7. The two teams are followed by 3-seed\u00a0Oklahoma, 4-seed Charlotte and 5-seed UCLA\u00a0to round out the top 5.\u00a0The home team is the 10-seed in the event.<\/p>\n

The Corvallis Regional is one of six sites hosting 54 holes of competition May 18-20, with the top five teams from each advancing to the NCAA Championship Finals. The other regional sites include Athens, Georgia (host: Georgia), Bermuda Run, North Carolina (host: Wake Forest), Bryan, Texas\u00a0(host: Texas A&M), Columbus, Ohio (host: Ohio State), and Marana, Arizona (host: Arizona).<\/p>\n

The Corvallis\u00a0Regional is one of three sites hosting 13 teams and 10 individuals (Bermuda Run, Corvallis and Marana),\u00a0while the other three regionals\u00a0will have 14 teams and five individuals not on those teams. The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the finals.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders will be seeking their sixth-straight NCAA Championship appearance, and 18th as a program, which is slated for May 29-June 3\u00a0at the Omni La Costa Champions Course in Carlsbad, Calif.<\/p>\n
