The NCAA golf tournament is long but worth the wait. The championship plays out over nine days across two weeks and is one of the few chances golf fans get to root for their favorite teams.
This year's tournament kicks off May 13 and concludes May 29. Throughout those two weeks, we'll see 81 teams whittle down to one national champion. Last year, Florida took home its fifth team title. Repeats are few and far between, though, as Alabama was the last team to win consecutive titles in 2013 and 2014.
Nearly half the tournament's field is already determined with automatic qualifications from conference championships. The question of who will join them on the course is about to be answered.

NCAA men's golf tournament format
The tournament begins with regionals where 81 teams will compete across six different host sites. They will play 54-hole tournament to determine the 30 teams that qualify for the finals. The lowest individual score, completed by a golfer who's team does not advance, will move onto finals as well.
At the national championship, everyone will play 54 holes against. After the first competition, the top 15 teams and nine individuals not from advancing teams will play an additional day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match play. They will then play a round of 72 holes to determine the top eight teams as well as the individual champion. Those final schools will be sorted into another bracket.
In team match-play, five total points will be up for grabs with one point awarded for each individual match. Winners advance to the semifinals and ultimately the finals. The first team to three points will advance through each round and eventually be declared as the national champion.
