Golf school!

The Mizzou Men’s Golf team has punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament.

Announced on the Golf Channel during their selection show on Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers have been rewarded the No. 7 seed in the Norman Regional, where Oklahoma is the No. 1 overall seed in the entire tournament.

According to MUTigers.com, this is Missouri’s 15th appearance all-time in the NCAA Tournament and sixth under their current head coach Mark Leroux. Mizzou is in the field for the first time since 2018.

Mizzou was one of 13 SEC teams to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament, and one of four league members in the Norman Regional along with Auburn, South Carolina, and Ole Miss.

The Norman Regional will take place from May 16-18 at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.

For Missouri to advance to the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Arizona from May 27-June 1, the Tigers will at least need to make the top-five cut.

And we’ll end links with......a Drinkwitz bat signal for the 2023 class? It’s been a while that we’ve had one of these, at least for football. We’re officially on commitment watch, so stay tuned!
