Notes:

Hawai'i Hilo will host the Amer Ari Intercollegiate; it will be the 33rd edition.
The Red Raiders have made it a tradition as a participant in this event. Tech owns one win coming back in 2017.
In its 33rd year, the Amer Ari has been going strong since the inaugural event in 1992.
The tournament failed to be completed for the first time in its history last season as extreme winds forced officials to cancel the event.
The event was originally played at Hapuna Golf Course at Mauna Kea Resort before moving to the Waikoloa Beach Resort. The Amer Ari returned to Hapuna during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the event was moved to Mauna Lani.
A strong field as usual, of the 18 NCAA D-I teams in action there are nine ranked inside the Top 25.
This event will mark Texas Tech's second event of the 2024 spring season after last being in action, Jan. 29-31.
Last time out at the Southwestern Invitational, Tech got off to a fast start firing an opening round 7-under-par team score to take the lead but cooled off and shot even-par to remain 7-under the rest of the way finishing tied for sixth. Senior Tyran Snyders paced the Red Raiders, never slowing down, shooting 10-under-par over 54 holes to claim a tie for third place.
