Team/Event Notes:

The Texas Tech men's golf team was selected on April 30 to participate in the 2025 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships, announced live on the Golf Channel. The Red Raiders were placed in the Urbana Regional as the 4-seed in a field of teams seeded one through 13.
The Urbana Regional, May 12-14, hosted by the University of Illinois, will be played at Atkins Golf Club, home to the Fighting Illini men's and women's golf teams. The course, formerly known as Stone Creek Golf Club, is an 18-hole public golf course located in Urbana, Ill, which is a suburb of Champaign, where Illinois' campus sits.
The home team is the 3-seed in the event, while Oklahoma State enters as the 1-seed, North Carolina is the 2-seed, each ahead of the Red Raiders at No. 4. The fifth seed entering the event is Long Beach State, rounding out the top five seeds. Five of the 13 teams this week will seek to advance to the national championships in California, while the other eight will see their respective teams' seasons come to a close.
The regional will be the 23rd consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament for Texas Tech under head coach Greg Sands, and the 26th overall for the men's golf program.
The Red Raiders will be seeking their fifth-straight NCAA Championship appearance, and 17th as a program, which is slated for May 23-28 at the Omni La Costa Champions Course in Carlsbad, Calif.
