Roll Call, May 2, 2024: Alabama Men's Golf Receives 2-seed in NCAA Regional

Alabama men's golf was selected for participation in the NCAA Men's Golf Championships, being named as the 2-seed in the Chapel Hill Regional.

The 13-team regional will take place May 13-15, and it will be the program's 26th appearance in a regional in school history, the 18th under head coach Jay Seawell. Winning the regional would advance the Crimson Tide to nationals, something it's done 12 times before.

There are six regional sites, three of which have 13 teams and three of which have 14 teams. Alabama comes into the tournament ranked No. 9 in the national, only trailing No. 4 North Carolina as the highest-ranked team in its region.

No games scheduled.
