Golf Channel to air first all-women’s regular-season college event with 2022 Darius Rucker Intercollegiate

Golf Channel is set to make some personal history with its coverage of women’s college golf in 2022.

The network will air its first all-women’s regular-season college tournament when the 2022 Darius Rucker Intercollegiate presented by PXG tees it up Feb. 28-March 2 at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head Island. South Carolina will host a handful of national-title contenders as a loaded field descends on the island: Alabama, Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Duke, Furman, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Louisville, North Carolina, Northwestern, Texas, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.

Past individual champions of the event include Maria Fassi (2018, Arkansas), Emilia Migliaccio (2020, Wake Forest), and Cheyenne Knight (2016 and 2017, Alabama).

Golf Channel’s men’s college coverage for the spring begins next week with the Southwestern Invitational at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, California, Jan. 24-26. Defending men’s national champions Pepperdine play host to a loaded field that includes five top-25 teams: ASU, Georgia, San Diego State, San José State, SMU, Texas, UCLA, UNLV, USC, Wake Forest and Washington.

Migliaccio, who both played and broadcasted during last summer’s U.S. Women’s Amateur, will join Billy Ray Brown as an on-course reporter.
