It's a great day to be a Tiger! While the golf world tunes into the PGA Championship, let's take a moment to celebrate a massive achievement from the college ranks: Mizzou Women's Golf is heading to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2005!
This is no small feat. Just four years ago, the program was ranked 120th nationally. Now, they're sitting at No. 31 and have punched their ticket to the big dance. The Tigers secured their spot by finishing fifth at the Stanford Regional with a solid +8 overall score—exactly what they needed to make the cut.
The format for nationals is intense. Mizzou will be one of 30 teams competing in Carlsbad, California, from May 22-27. It starts with 72 holes of stroke play to narrow the field down to eight teams, and then it shifts to head-to-head match play to crown the champion. Every birdie and bogey counts.
Head coach and the team have engineered a remarkable turnaround, and it's a testament to the hard work of the seniors who have built this program from the ground up. Whether you're a die-hard golf fan or just love a good underdog story, this is a team worth watching.
So, as you gear up for your own round or just enjoy the weekend, throw on your best Mizzou gear and cheer on the Tigers. Make those birdies, avoid those bogeys, and let's bring home a title!
