One of the most high-profile contests in the NCAA Division

One of the most high-profile contests in the NCAA Division I calendar comes from Blessings Golf Club in Arkansas.

The Blessings Collegiate Invitational was only launched four years ago, but it quickly earned prestige, helped by its TV coverage and field comprising many of the best men’s and women’s players in college golf. Here are some of the essential details about the event.

Overall, 10 colleges are competing, with a total of 100 players in the field. They are divided into teams of five men and five women representing each college.

The men’s and women’s teams will be on the course at the same time, and each college has all five members of its team playing the same holes and in the same conditions together. However, the men and women have separate leaderboards. The four best men’s and women’s scores after every round count towards the team score.

After the final round, there will be a winning men’s team, a winning women’s team, an individual male champion, an individual female champion, a combined team champion and a mixed pairs best ball champion.
