AUBURN, Ala. – The full 12-team field for the NCAA women's golf regional site in Auburn, Alabama, was revealed on Wednesday. The Tigers will be a 2-seed in the regional, which will be played May 6-8 at Auburn University Club.
"I feel like our team has been playing well and we're trending in the right direction," said Auburn head coach Melissa Luellen. "It does not matter if you're home or on the road, we have to just stay in our bubble, stay focused and stick to the process of how to hit good golf shots and let the results take care of itself."

The Tigers will be joined in the field by No. 2 South Carolina, No. 14 Oregon, No. 23 Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Houston, Tulsa, Miami, Kennesaw State, ETSU and Albany.
The 2024 regional will mark the fourth time that the women's program has hosted a NCAA Regional and the third time that a regional has been played at Auburn University Club.
In regional play, six 54-hole regional competitions will be played to determine the participants in the championship finals. The low five teams and the individual not on those teams will advance to the finals. Beginning in 2024, regional champion awards will be given to the team champions.
"I think it's such a challenging golf course," Luellen said about Auburn University Club. "Local knowledge is very helpful. We've actually stayed away from the golf course for a while just so we didn't get tired of it. We have such great courses in Auburn that we can play and we really utilize that. But in the last week, we've been focused on playing AU Club and getting ready as the greens transition to getting a little bit faster. They'll still be firm, but we're used to it."
Auburn enters the regional coming off a runner-up finish in the stroke play portion of the SEC Championship and ranked No. 7 in the nation by Scoreboard.
Fans are encouraged to attend the tournament at Auburn University Club where admission will be free. Live scoring of the tournament will be avalaible online at Golfstat.com.
