KU WGOLF: Kansas Receives At-Large Selection to Fourth-Consecutive NCAA Regional

LAWRENCE, Kan. – For the fourth-consecutive season the Kansas women’s golf team earned an at-lard selection to the NCAA Regional Championship, announced on Wednesday afternoon on the Golf Channel. This is just the fifth time in program history that Kansas will compete in the NCAA Regionals.

Head coach Lindsay Kuhle is in her fifth year with the program, and the Jayhawks will compete in their fourth-consecutive NCAA Regional at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional.

“It’s just always super exciting,” Kuhle said. “It’s what we work the entire year for; to have a chance to compete for a national championship. We’re beyond ecstatic, excited, and ready to go. I wish we could go tomorrow.”

Kansas enters the NCAA Regional as the No. 7 seed in the 12-team field and will play at the University of Michigan Golf Course from May 11-13.

The NCAA Ann Arbor Regional will consist of No. 1 USC, No. 2 Duke, No. 3 Central Florida, No. 4 Oklahoma, No. 5 Ohio State, No. 6 Northwestern, No. 7 KANSAS, No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 9 UNLV, No. 10 Columbia, No. 11 Quinnipiac, and No. 12 Oakland.

“It’s a championship course. Obviously, it’s northern golf where it can play a little bit longer, be a little bit colder and wet. I actually played this course 25 years ago. So I remember it, and it’s a ball striker’s course. I always appreciate the opportunity to go play a championship course like that, because I feel like our team is really a great ball striking team.”

Kansas has previously received at-large bids to the NCAA Regionals in 2014, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Jayhawks competed in the NCAA Columbus Regional last season, and won the event led by current Jayhawk junior Lyla Louderbaugh. Last season Louderbaugh and the Jayhawks became the first KU team to win a NCAA Regional in program history, and Louderbaugh became the first NCAA individual regional champion in program history.

Regional play will take place May 11-13 at six regional sites, with 396 participants and each site featuring 12 teams and six individuals. The top five teams (30 teams total) and the low individual not on an advancing team (six individuals total) from each regional site will advance to compete in the national championships to be played May 22-27 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.
