National Collegiate Golf Championship

The Largest Collegiate Golf Event in the World

Collegiate Golf Alliance (CGA), the premier online registration and golf event management company, in partnership with NIRSA Services Corporation, is pleased to announce the sites for local qualifiers in preparation for the National Collegiate Golf Championship (NCGC).

Winning teams from local qualifiers advance to the 10th Annual National Collegiate Golf Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada November 11 -13, 2011. The NCGC is a two-person scramble event that allows recreational golfers to compete for their universities for the 2011 championship title. The Championship has three divisions: Student, Faculty/Staff and Alumni/Community.

Fifty to eighty local qualifying tournaments were held across the United States in the late spring, summer and fall. Local qualifying host schools receive a prize package valued at over $500 per school and over $50 per player.

"We are very excited to be able to expand the NCGC program to include the PGAU schools, which will allow more schools the opportunity to participate and compete," said CGA President and CEO Mike Munson. "The excitement and competitive spirit will be at an all-time high in 2011. With the National Championship now being covered by Fox Sports West, and part of the PGA's  Play Golf America University Program, our reach and exposure should be outstanding."

Over the past eight years, the NCGC programs have benefited the NIRSA Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for students through professional development, research, scholarships, and educational resources.

"As a competitive golfer in high school, I thought my time to compete in high-level golf tournaments was over when I enrolled at Marquette University," said participant John Borneman. "But upon arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada, to play in the National Collegiate Golf Championship, I realized that absolutely was not true. From the beginning, my partner and I were treated like real competitors."

"The mission of PGAU is to get college students interested and involved in the game of golf. We see our relationship with CGA as a way to continue that mission, as CGA complements and brings an incredible element to this program."

CGA has appointed six regional managers to assist in the programming of campus golf events and help coordinate the National Tournament.
