The NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Committee has announced who will compete May 11-14 at Oglebay in Wheeling, West Virginia, for the Division III national title. The 72-hole event will feature 37 teams and six individuals, with a cut to the top 18 teams and top six individuals not on those teams after 36 holes.

In Division III, the national-championship field is selected by a combination of automatic qualifying spots and pool selections. Beyond the 30 AQ spots, four teams were selected from Pool B, which consists of independent institutions and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification and three berths were reserved for Pool C, which are institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not the conference champion plus any remaining Pool B teams.

The national championship was canceled in 2020, but Illinois Wesleyan returns this year after winning its first national title in program history in 2019.
