The NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships is the annual golf tournament, typically played in mid-May, to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate golf in the United States. It has been played annually since 1975, when it split-away from the NCAA College Division Men's Golf Championships when the NCAA split into its current three-division structure.
It is a stroke play team competition, but there is also an award for the lowest scoring individual competitor.[1]
Methodist is the most successful program, with 14 national titles and are the reigning national champions.
