BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Men's and Women's Golf announced their spring schedules on Tuesday morning. Each program is currently scheduled for five events in the spring, meeting the minimum of eight total events required in the 2020-21 season to be eligible for the NCAA Regionals and Championship. Schedules are subject to change and any updates can be found at wkusports.com.
Lady Topper Golf Schedule
After a strong fall performance playing all five of its scheduled events, Lady Topper Golf and head coach Adam Gary have five more tournaments lined up between February and April.
WKU will open their spring schedule by co-hosting a new tournament with UNF. The First Coast Classic will be held on February 15 and 16. The Lady Toppers will then compete in the UNF Intercollegiate on March 8 and 9.
For the fifth consecutive year, WKU will plan to host the Spring Break Shootout on March 15 and 16. The Red and White was preparing for the fourth-ever Shootout when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled all spring sports.
Following their own event, the Lady Toppers will play in the UT Chattanooga Invitational for the first time ever on March 29 and 30.
The Conference USA Women's Golf Championships will be held April 19-21 at the Verandah Club in Fort Myers, Fla. The Verandah Club has hosted the Women's Championship every year since 2015.
Hilltopper Golf Schedule
WKU Men's Golf competed in three events this past fall and the Hilltoppers and head coach Chan Metts currently have five tournaments on the slate for the spring.
WKU will start its spring schedule with the Mobile Bay (Mobile Sports Authority) Intercollegiate, playing February 14-16. This will be the fourth consecutive spring the Hilltoppers have opened with the Mobile-based, 54-hole event.
The Hilltoppers will travel to the Sea Palms Invitational on March 4-6. It is a new addition to the WKU schedule, hosted by Western Carolina.
The Red and White will then take a month off before competing in the Mason Rudolph Championship hosted by Vanderbilt. The last time WKU competed in the Vandy event, former Hilltopper Billy Tom Sargent won the individual title in 2019. It was on WKU's 2019-20 schedule prior to the cancellation of spring sports.
WKU will play in the Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational on April 12 and 13. The West Virginia-hosted tournament was originally scheduled for this past fall but was rescheduled due to COVID-related issues.
The Conference USA Men's Golf Championships will be April 26-29, with the final day being match play between the top four teams. Texarkana Country Club in Arkansas has been the host of the Men's Championships since 2015.
