EAST LANSING, Michigan – The NCAA has awarded Michigan State a 2023 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Regional. The event will be held at Eagle Eye Golf Club in Bath, Michigan.
Michigan State was scheduled to host the 2020 NCAA East Regional Championship at Eagle Eye Golf Club (May 18-20), but the event was canceled due to the global pandemic.
"We are excited to partner with the Greater Lansing Sports Authority to host the NCAA regional championships for men's golf," said Bill Beekman, Michigan State Athletic Director. "We were slated to host the men's regional this past spring before it was canceled, so we are appreciative of the opportunity to host once again. Golf is very popular throughout the state, including two great programs here at MSU, and we look forward to putting on another outstanding event."
This is the third time for this specific NCAA championship bid process, which created the largest host site announcement ever, spanning 86 championships across a four-year cycle. Previously, selection announcements varied by sport. This process now gives the NCAA and host sites more time to plan each championship experience.
Bidding for 86 of 90 NCAA championships began in August 2019 and more than 3,000 bid applications were ultimately submitted. Each sport committee, per division, selected the host sites it believed would provide the ultimate experience for the respective student-athletes, resulting in more than 450 total championship event sites being awarded. More than 54,000 student-athletes compete in NCAA championships each year. The four championships not included in the process due to preexisting site arrangements are: Division I baseball, Division I football, Division I softball and Division III women's ice hockey.
