The East Lake Cup is being played Oct. 28-30

How do you get your college-golf-on-TV fix in the fall? There’s really only one way: the East Lake Cup.

The historic East Lake Club in Atlanta plays host to the top four programs from the previous year’s NCAA Championship. They do battle in a match-play format in front of TV cameras, just a day after Tiger Woods claimed his 82nd victory (technically it's the same day, since he won on Monday in Japan).

The East Lake Cup debuted in as a two day event in 2015; it has grown in popularity and is now contested over three days.

GOLF Channel will air live coverage of all three days of the championship from 3-6 p.m. ET. (The detailed schedule of TV times is shown at the bottom of this article.)

Both men's and women's fields are headlined by Wake Forest, which both debuted as the No. 1 team in the season-opening Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings. The men’s division also includes Texas, the 2019 NCAA national championships runners-up, but not Stanford, reigning national-champion team.

Duke, which won the NCAA Women’s Championship, will be in the women’s field. Wake Forest’s women will appear as the reigning NCAA runners-up.

“We are very honored by the invitation to participate in our first East Lake Cup,” said Wake Forest men’s golf coach Jerry Haas. “It is one of the great showcase events of collegiate golf and we look forward to competing on that stage. We feel like we are one of the top teams in the country and we appreciate the opportunity to challenge ourselves against three other elite teams on one of the best golf courses in the country.”
