MARANA, Ariz. – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's golf team is set to make its third NCAA Regional appearance as the Eagles travel to the Marana Regional at The Gallery Golf Club in Marana, Arizona, from May 18-20.

FGCU's previous regional appearances came as a No. 9 seed at the Columbus Regional in 2022 and as a No. 10 seed at the Amherst Regional in 2025. The program has also sent individual representatives to the NCAA Championship in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2021 and 2024.

The Gallery Golf Club is a par 72, 7,317-yard course. FGCU will begin play on No. 10 with tee times starting at 8:25 a.m. local time (11:25 a.m. ET) on Monday. The Eagles will be paired alongside golfers from Saint Mary's College of California and Tarleton State University.

The Eagles are the No. 10 seed in the Marana Regional.

Harper, Gamboa, Moore and Figueredo bring valuable regional experience back to the lineup.
