BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Tech men's golf team will compete seven times this spring prior to the ACC Championship, head coach Brian Sharp announced Monday.
The Hokies will open their 2021 campaign at the Camp Creek Seminole Invitational hosted by Florida State. The three-day tournament is set for January 17-19 at Camp Creek Golf Club in Watersound, Fla.
Tech continues up the east coast with George Washington's Oldfield Invitational, February 8-9. The two-day event will be held at Oldfield Golf Club in Bluffton, S.C.
After a three-week break in competition, the Hokies tee-it-up at famed Pinehurst No. 2 for the Wake Forest Invitational. The Demon Deacons will host their tournament, March 1-2. Pinehurst No. 2, known as golf course designer Donald Ross's masterpiece, is the first U.S. Open anchor site, and is scheduled to host the championship again in 2024.
Two weeks later, Tech returns to the General Hackler Intercollegiate hosted by Coastal Carolina, March 14-16, at The Dunes Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The Hokies close out March at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate (March 27-28) at UNC's Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Once again, Tech is entered into the field at the Augusta Haskins Award Invitational. Forest Hills Golf Club will serve as the host course for the two-day tournament (April 3-4) in Augusta, Ga.
The final tune-up for the ACC Championship will be the Stitch Intercollegiate hosted by NC State, April 9-10, at MacGregor Downs Country Club in Cary, N.C.
For the first time in its history, the ACC Championship will be held at Capital City Club (Crabapple Course) in Atlanta, Ga. The four-day championship runs April 23-26 and will debut a new format. Three rounds of stroke play on the first two days will cut the field to the low four teams for semifinals and finals of match play to determine the ACC champion. The format change was made to more closely mirror the NCAA Championship.
The NCAA Regional round is May 17-19, with the NCAA Championship to be contested at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 28-June 2.
