This is the Deacs’ 26th-straight NCAA Regional appearance.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.- The Wake Forest men's golf team was selected to the Amherst NCAA Regional Wednesday, as announced on Golf Channel.
The Demon Deacons will be the No. 8 seed in the region, with play set to begin on Monday, May 12 at the Poplar Grove Golf Course in Amherst, Virginia.
This is the Deacs' 26th straight NCAA Regional appearance.
Last season at the 2024 NCAA Austin Regional, the Demon Deacons won in dramatic fashion, defeating BYU in a playoff with the Deacs finishing 1-under-par to defeat the Cougars who finished even par.
It marked the 48th time that the Deacs had qualified for the NCAA Championships, and the 13th NCAA Championship appearance under the direction of head coach Jerry Haas including the fourth in the last five years.
Starting their postseason momentum, the Deacs made a quarterfinal appearance in the ACC Championship.
This was Wake Forest's fourth appearance in match play at the ACC Championship, with only Georgia Tech and Florida State having the same amount of appearances.
During the 2024-2025 season, Wake Forest finished within the top-5 in seven events across the 2024-25 season.
In the fall, the Deacs claimed their first title of the 2024-25 season, winning the Lyon's Links Invitational by twelve strokes in Dublin, Ireland. This was the 46th win under the direction of head coach Jerry Haas. The Deacs finished the final round 31-under-par, turning in a 54-hole score of 833 and tying for ninth lowest 54-hole score to par in program history.

How the Men's Golf NCAA Championship Works
Six 54-hole regional tournaments will be conducted to determine the 30 qualifying teams and six individuals (not on those qualifying teams) who will compete in the finals. Thirteen teams and 10 individuals (not on those teams) will compete at each of three regionals while the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals (not on those teams). The low five teams and the low individual not on those teams will advance to the finals.
All 30 teams and six individuals will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of competition, the top 15 teams along with the top nine individuals not on an advancing team will advance for one additional day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the 72-hole stroke-play individual champion. The top eight teams after 72 holes of play will be placed into a bracket thereafter.
In team match-play competition, a total of five points will be available with one point being awarded for each individual match. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and subsequently, the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance, or in the case of the final match, be declared the national champion.
