The NCAA announced the teams and individuals set to compete in the 2026 Division I Men’s Golf Championships on Wednesday afternoon, with the Tennessee Volunteers making the cut. Sixteenth-ranked Tennessee was selected as the No. 3 seed in the Bryan Regional, which will be hosted by Texas A&M at Traditions Club in Bryan, TX.
Other notable teams in the Bryan Regional include 1-seed Texas, 2-seed North Carolina, 4-seed New Mexico, and 5-seed Texas A&M.
According to UT Sports, the Vols’ 3-seed selection is their highest placement since landing a 1-seed during the 2024 tournament. Tennessee was previously a 5-seed last year. It is the eighth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance for the Volunteers, extending Tennessee’s streak of making the NCAA Tournament in every season under head coach Brennan Webb. This does not include the 2020 tournament, which was cancelled due to COVID.
Tennessee’s 2026 tournament appearance is UT’s 30th NCAA Regional appearance in program history.
The six NCAA Regional tournaments, including the Bryan Regional, will take place from May 18 to May 20. The top five teams from each regional will then advance to the national championships, which will take place from May 29 to June 3 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa’s Champions Course in Carlsbad, California.
Tennessee is seeking its third consecutive national championship appearance after making the final tournament in both 2024 and 2025.
The most well-known name on Tennessee’s roster is sophomore Jackson Herrington, a native of Dickson, TN. Herrington participated in the 2026 Masters Tournament and tied for the 36-hole low amateur score (+8) at Augusta National Golf Club last month.
