MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the 2025-26 Mountaineer golf schedule.
"We are excited about our schedule as it will allow us to compete against some of the best teams and players in college golf," coach Sean Covich said. "We have five different tournaments from last year's schedule which will see us travel to various climates including the upper Midwest, the Gulf South and even Hawaii. This will allow our guys to play on all types of grasses and continue to develop their game for postseason."
The Mountaineers will open the fall season for the first time at the Island Resort Collegiate at Sage Run Golf Course in Bark River, Michigan, on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
A week later on Sept. 7-8, West Virginia will play in The Gopher Invitational for the sixth time in school history at Windsong Farm Golf Club in Independence, Minnesota.
For the second year in a row, West Virginia will host the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational at Mystic Rock Golf Course in Farmington, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 29-30. The Mountaineers won the team title, and Kaleb Wilson won the individual title in the inaugural event.
Another first time tournament for the Mountaineers will take place in Lexington, Kentucky, on Oct. 6-7 at the Cullen Brown Invitational at Lexington Country Club.
West Virginia will return to the Steelwood Collegiate for the second time in three years on Oct. 25-26 at Steelwood Country Club in Loxley, Alabama.

For the second year in a row, West Virginia will open the spring season at the Battle at Briar's Creek at The Golf Club at Briar's Creek in John's Island, South Carolina, on Feb. 2-3.
WVU will compete at the Gators Invitational in Gainesville, Florida, played at Mark Bostick Golf Course on Feb. 14-15. It will mark the eighth consecutive appearance for WVU in the Gators Invitational.
The Mountaineers will play three tournaments in March – The Johnnie-O at Sea Island at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia, on March 9-10, The Schenkel Invitational at Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro, Georgia, from March 13-15 and The Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate at Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw, South Carolina, from March 22-24.

"Ending our regular season at Pete Dye Golf Club hosting the Mountaineer Invitational is always a treat, especially considering NCAA champion Oklahoma State will return to try and defend their title," Covich said. "We are very proud of how that tournament has grown into a national event."
The Big 12 Men's Golf Championship will take place on April 27-29 at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas, marking WVU's fourth appearance there in league championship play.
