The size of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship is increasing.
The NCAA announced Monday that beginning with next year's national championship, 27 teams will compete, up from 24 teams in recent years. The move was made "to provide an equitable championship access ratio across both Division I men’s and women’s golf, with 10% of both men’s and women’s teams now advancing from regionals to the finals site."
The men have a 30-team field for their championship.
“There is extreme importance in providing as many participation opportunities as possible for our student-athletes,” said Bradford Hurlbut, chair of the Division I women’s golf committee.
