MADISON, Miss. – The Old Dominion men's golf team begins play at the 2023 Sun Belt Conference Championship this Monday at Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi.

The course at Annandale features a par of 72 and is 7,190 yards. This week marks the first time the Sun Belt Championship will be played at Annandale, which was opened in 1981 and designed by Jack Nicklaus. The course hosted the PGA Tour's Sanderson Farms Championship from 1994 to 2013.

The four-day tournament will begin with three rounds of stroke play beginning on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The 14 teams will tee off from split tees beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET, with six teams going off from the first hole and the other eight starting on the 10th hole.

After the three rounds of stroke play, the top four teams will advance to match play on Thursday. The semifinal matches will start at 9:30 a.m. ET, with the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds teeing off from the first hole and the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds teeing off on the 10th hole. The championship match will then follow the conclusion of the semifinals.

The entire tournament will be streamed on ESPN+ and live stats will also be available on GolfStat.

ODU competed in nine tournaments during the 2022-23 regular season and posted six Top 10 finishes as a team, to include placing third at the Cutter Creek Invitational on March 31-April 2.
