Brentley's Bracketology: Predicting 2023 NCAA women's golf regional fields

Written by

It's once again time for college golf's version of bracketology.

As the final women's conference tournaments finish up, GolfChannel.com’s college golf insider Brentley Romine predicts which teams will make regionals, what seeds they'll receive and where they'll be sent.

The official regional fields will be revealed Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. Each regional will be contested on May 8-10.

A year after increasing the number of regionals from four to six, the NCAA made another big change this year by expanding the number of teams that qualify for the NCAA Championship from 24 to 30. While there are still 72 total teams that advance to regionals, now the top five teams will make it out of each regional.

Just two of the six regional hosts are projected to qualify for regionals this year.

As for the magic number, which was coined by Golfweek's Lance Ringler as the Golfstat ranking of the final at-large berth, that is at 57 for the second straight year with just a couple more chances – upsets in the WAC and Summit League, or Sacramento State climbing two spots in the final ranking – for that number to shrink. As of this projection, South Florida would be the last team and Minnesota, at No. 58, would be the first team out.

Here’s a projection of how this year’s six regionals will look when the fields are finalized:
