Venue

This is the first NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship held at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. This is the first time the tournament has been hosted by the University of South Florida.

Format

For the first time in NCAA women's golf history the National Championship would follow the format used for the men's National Championship adopted in 2009. All teams played 54 holes with the team score consisting of the four best scores of the five-player team for each individual round. The top 15 teams and the top 9 individuals after 54 holes advanced to the fourth round. The top eight teams after 72 holes advanced to the match play competition. The individual award was given at the end of the stroke play part of the competition, recognizing the individual who had the best combined score over the four rounds.[2]

In match play, all five players play just as before and each match is worth one point with matches that end all-square are either postponed then continued, continued immediately or called a halve depending on the scores for both teams. For example, if Team A ties with Team B 2.5–2.5, the match that was all-square after 18 holes resumes in a sudden-death playoff.
