With the conference championships underway, Golf Channel is gearing up for six weeks of comprehensive NCAA coverage leading up to the 2016 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Golf Championships, taking place May 20-June 1 at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Oregon.

NCAA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS COVERAGE: Contested in back-to-back weeks May 20-June 1, Golf Channel will originate more than 100 hours of news and tournament coverage of both championships onsite, as well as expanded coverage online via Golf Channel Digital and through the network's social media channels.

Golf Channel will dedicate its full suite of production resources to the NCAA Men's and Women's Golf Championships, featuring more than 25 combined hours of live tournament coverage - the majority in primetime - as well as more than 50 hours of replays. In addition, GOLF CENTRAL will feature nearly 25 hours of combined pre-and post-event live news coverage produced on location, as well as daily news updates on Morning Drive and Golf Channel Digital.

Hosted by the University of Oregon at Eugene Country Club, the 2016 NCAA Men's and Women's Golf Championships will feature teams and student-athletes who advanced from NCAA Regional Qualifying. Competing in an individual stroke-play format over 72 holes Friday-Monday, the top eight teams will advance to the team match-play tournament Tuesday and Wednesday.

Golf Channel's live tournament coverage of the women's championships will begin on Monday, May 23 to crown the individual national champion, as well as to track the teams attempting to qualify for the eight-team match-play tournament. Golf Channel's coverage also will include all three rounds of the team match-play tournament on Tuesday, May 24 and Wednesday, May 25. The same television coverage is planned for the men's national championships the following week: Monday, May 30 - Wednesday, June 1.
