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.)
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.”
