2023 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship: Staff picks, what to watch for at Grayhawk Golf Club

The 2023 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship tees off two long weeks of college golf in the desert at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Thirty teams and six individuals will compete for national titles, with the individual champion being decided after four rounds of stroke play Friday, May 19 to Monday, May 22. After the third round, the field will be cut to the top 15 teams for the final round.

Those 15 will then be cut to eight, and the format will switch to match play, with the team champion being crowned Wednesday, May 24.
