College golf’s new postseason event is in the books.
Earlier this month, the inaugural National Golf Invitational began. It’s the new NIT of college golf. Every team’s goal is to make it to the NCAA Championship, but if they don’t find a ticket to regional play there is now something to play in.
Golfweek teamed up with Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona, just south of Phoenix, to host the inaugural National Golf Invitational. Penn State won the women’s title while Texas State took home the men’s.
It was a special week for numerous reasons, but it also was a big step in the future of college golf’s postseason.
Here’s a look at some of the best photos from the 2023 National Golf Invitational.
