Kansas City, Missouri—The National Association of Interscholastic Athletics (NAIA) has selected TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill., along with Visit Quad Cities and St. Ambrose University in Iowa, as host sites for the 2025 and 2026 NAIA men’s golf national championships.
TPC Deere Run, owned and operated by the PGA, is an 18-hole golf course located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River.
“TPC Deere Run’s combination of visual beauty and strategic challenge makes it one of the best golf courses in the country,” said NAIA Championship Director Austin Bennett.
The 2025 NAIA Men’s Golf National Championship is scheduled for May 20-23. It features four rounds of stroke play involving up to 30 teams and 156 golfers. All national championship teams are composed of five players, and the top four daily scorers will count toward the team’s ranking. In addition to team awards, each golfer competes for an individual national championship.
Teams qualify through various conference tournaments, with four to five individuals qualifying per championship team. If a team fails to advance, individual medalists may also qualify. At-large seats are available to the highest-ranked teams and individuals who have not yet qualified.
“Our goal is to always provide qualifiers with an experience that reflects the special nature of the national championship,” said Michael Holmes, director of athletics at St. Ambrose University. “Through the organization of Visit Quad Cities, the PGA-level quality of Deere Run and the volunteer efforts of the people at St. Ambrose, I am proud of the high-level championships we offer in the Quad Cities.”
