Loaded Schedule Faces Cavalier Women’s Golfers in 2022-23
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia women’s golf coach Ria Scott announced the program’s 2022-23 schedule today (July 25). The Cavaliers currently have eight regular-season team events and will be making a return trip to the Guadalajara Country Club Collegiate Invitational in Mexico. UVA will play at three NCAA Regional sites (Stanford, NC State and Georgia) during the season.
Last spring at the NCAA Championships, the Cavaliers gathered for a team picture with Hall of Famer Annika Sörenstam. This fall the team opens its season at her Annika Invitational at Royal Golf Club in Minneapolis, Minn. On Sept. 12-14. Next up for the Hoos will be the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate at Cherokee Country Club in Knoxville, Tenn.
UVA returns to the Windy City Collegiate Classic on Oct. 3-4. This year’s event will take place at Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park, Ill. The team wraps up the fall with a trek out west to the Stanford Intercollegiate on Oct. 21-23 at the Stanford Golf Club.
The Cavaliers open spring play at the Guadalajara Country Club Collegiate Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico on Feb. 5-6. Virginia won the inaugural event in 2019 in the team’s final tournament before the pandemic shut down the remainder of the season.
Next up will be a familiar stop for UVA. The Cavalier will compete at the Darius Rucker Invitational at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head Island, S.C. on Feb. 27-March 1. For the second consecutive season, the event will be broadcast by the Golf Channel.
UVA will play at Georgia’s Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Held at the University of Georgia Golf Course, the tournament takes place March 24-26. The Cavaliers wrap up the regular season with a trip to NC State’s Wolfpack Match Play event at Lonnie Poole Golf Club in Raleigh on April 3-4.
“When players come to UVA, they know that they’ll be playing one of the strongest tournament schedules in the country,” Scott said. “We believe that having the opportunity to test our players against the very best, week in and week out, makes them most ready to compete for championships. This is a schedule that affords them to have some fantastic travel experiences and to compete at some exceptional golf venues.”
The 2023 ACC Championships return to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. for this year’s event set for April 13-16.
NCAA Regional competition will take place May 8-10 at Georgia, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla, Washington State, NC State, San Antonio, Texas and Westfield, Indiana.
The NCAA Championships return to Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. for the third consecutive season. This year’s tournament runs May 19-24.
