The men's team was one of 43 programs selected to participate in the championships that are set to get underway at the Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL on May 10-13. The Eagles were one of two teams, along with Babson, to be selected into Pool B, which consists of independent institutions and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the qualifications for automatic qualification. There were 32 teams that earned automatic qualification berths and the other nine berths were reserved for Pool C, which are institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not the conference champion and any remaining Pool B teams. An additional six individuals were selected from teams that did not qualify for the Championships to bring the field to 221 total golfers.
Emory's men's team will be making its sixth consecutive and 24th total appearance at nationals in the 37-year history of the program. This marks the eighth appearance in eleven years under the stewardship of head coach John Sjoberg and finished sixth at last year's championships.
After 36-holes of competition, the field will be cut to the top 18 teams and the top six individuals not on one of those teams to compete in the final 36-holes of competition.
