The seventh-ranked Tennessee men's golf team is back in action for its final tournament of the fall this weekend, traveling to the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate in Alpharetta, Georgia.
The Vols tee off the three-round, 54-hole tournament on Friday morning at 9 a.m. ET and are set to compete in one round apiece on Saturday and Sunday.
The tournament is set to be played at the par-72, 7,107-yard Golf Club of Georgia Lakeside Course, which is ranked as the 24th course in the state of Georgia by Golf Digest.
According to Golfweek's collegiate rankings, seven of the 14 participating teams in the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate are ranked inside the top 20, with Tennessee being the highest ranked team in the field. The 14-team field also has six teams that competed in the 2022 NCAA Championship.
