The NCAA in conjunction with the Golf Channel announced on Wednesday the regional hosts and seedings for this year’s men’s golf tournament.
The Florida Gators found out that they will be playing in the West Lafayette Region as a No. 3 seed this year. It is the fourth straight year the Gators have been a top-three seed in regionals and the seventh time under head coach J.C. Deacon.
The Orange and Blue have qualified for 34 of the 35 all-time men’s golf regionals and every year under Deacon since winning the inaugural East Regional (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) in 1989. UF has claimed a total of six team titles (1989, 1992, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2018) and six individual titles — Brain Gay (1993), Brad Lehmann (1994), Camilo Villegas (2001), Billy Horschel (2006 & 2007) and Andy Zhang (2018).
