KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has chosen TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill., along with Visit Quad Cities and St. Ambrose University in Iowa, as hosts for the 2025 and 2026 NAIA Men’s Golf National Championships.
PGA-owned and operated TPC Deere Run is an 18-hole golf course along the bluffs of the Mississippi River.
“TPC Deere Run’s combination of visual beauty and strategic challenges make it one of the best golf courses in the nation,” says Austin Bennett, championships director, NAIA.
The 2025 NAIA Men’s Golf National Championship is scheduled for May 20–23. It features a four-round stroke play tournament with up to 30 teams and up to 156 golfers. All national championship teams consist of five players each, and the top four daily scores are counted toward the team’s standing. In addition to team awards, each golfer also competes for the individual national title.
Teams qualify through various conference tournaments, with each championship team qualifying four to five individuals. Individual medalists can qualify if their team fails to advance. At-large berths are available for the highest-ranked teams and individuals not already qualified.
“Our goal is to always provide the qualifiers with an experience that reflects the special nature of a national championship,” says Michael Holmes, athletics director, St. Ambrose University. “With the organization of Visit Quad Cities, the PGA-level quality of Deere Run, and the volunteer efforts from St. Ambrose personnel, I am proud of the high-level championship we offer in the Quad Cities.”
