GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Gators open their 2017 fall season at the Ocean Course Invitational in Kiawah Island, S.C.
The tournament, hosted by College of Charleston, consists of 16 teams. The field includes three teams that finished last season in the top 25, Florida (5), Florida State (6) and NC State (20).
The Gators will be seeing some familiar faces as four SEC schools in Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt also kick off their seasons at Kiawah Island.
Florida is the defending SEC Champions after hoisting the conference trophy in record setting fashion in 2017. The Gators finished the tournament with a three round total of 842 (-22), the lowest total in tournament history.
Emily Glaser returned three contributors to last year's team in senior Taylor Tomlinson, sophomore Marta Perez and sophomore Carlotta Ricolfi.
Course Information: The tournament is being played at the Par 73, 6,109 yards Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, S.C. The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort has played host to the 2007 Senior PGA and 2012 PGA Championships. It will also host the 2021 PGA Championship.
Format: 54-hole stroke play where teams will play three rounds over two days. The first 36-holes will be played on Monday. The final 18-holes on Tuesday.
