The Course
La Quinta Country Club is no stranger to championship golf, hosting PGA Tour events for decades. Players will need to navigate generous fairways but stay sharp on approach shots, with fast, undulating greens ready to punish any mistakes. Winds can become a factor, adding another layer of difficulty as the leaderboard begins to tighten. The course will play at Par-72 with a distance of 7,060 yards.
Looking Ahead
The Big West's team champion will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals at six sites around the country from May 12-14, while standout individual performers could also secure at-large selections.
