Bracketology: 2026 NCAA men’s golf regional predictions

The NCAA Division I men’s golf regional fields will be unveiled Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET on Golf Channel.

Until then, it’s time to project which teams will be participating and where they will be going.

Unlike the women last week, there seems to be clear assignments for the six No. 1 seeds, though that means one centrally located team, whether it be Arkansas or maybe even Texas Tech should the Red Raiders jump into the top line, heading west to Corvallis, Oregon. The Beavers are one of two hosts that will be double-digit seeds, along with Ohio State. As of now, there is only one host among the top four seed lines (Arizona).

Currently, the magic number is 66, with St. Mary’s as the last team in and Washington State as the first team out.

Here is a look at the latest bracketology.
