LUBBOCK, TEXAS - Texas Tech women's golf will travel to Harvester, Iowa, to compete in the fifth annual Big 12 Tournament April 23-25. Play will begin 9 a.m. Monday on the par-72, 6,125 yard Harvester Golf Course and will conclude Wednesday morning with play beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Every Big 12 women's golf team is ranked in the April 18 GolfWeek national rankings and nine teams are ranked in the MasterCard rankings. Tech is ranked 42nd in GolfWeek and 39th in MasterCard rankings. The competition should be fierce as there have been four different champions in the four-year history of the league.
