The 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship is almost here, taking place from May 24 to May 29 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., with the top teams and individuals in men's college golf teeing it up one last time this season.

All 30 teams and six individuals will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of competition, the top 15 teams, along with the top nine individuals not on an advancing team, will advance for one additional day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the 72-hole stroke-play individual champion. The top eight teams, after 72 holes of play, will be placed into a bracket thereafter.

In team match-play competition, a total of five points will be available, with one point being awarded for each individual match. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and, subsequently, the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance or, in the case of the final match, be declared the national champion.
