CARLSBAD, Calif. — The men’s individual national champion has been crowned, which means one thing: it’s time for match play.
Illinois is the No. 1 seed in match play after winning the stroke-play portion of the 2024 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship by 16 shots. The Fighting Illini will face Georgia Tech, last year’s runner-up. Each of the top three teams in the country, Auburn, Vanderbilt and North Carolina, also made match play.
A reminder: Oklahoma State in 2018 is the only No. 1 seed in the match-play era to go on and win the national title.
