TALLHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 3 Ole Miss men's golf is set to compete in their 17th NCAA Tournament appearance in program history when they Rebels travel to Tallahassee, Florida, May 12-14, for NCAA Regional play.
The regional will feature three, 18-hole rounds of stroke play with the top five teams from each regional advancing along with the highest finishing individual not on an advancing team.
Thirty teams will comprise the field for the NCAA Championship, which begins May 23 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
Monday, May 12 – 18 holes (stroke play)
Tuesday, May 13 – 18 holes (stroke play)
Wednesday, May 14 – 18 holes (stroke play)
BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
Formerly known as Don Veller Seminole Golf Course, the Seminole Legacy Golf Club is the result of a ten-million-dollar comprehensive renovation of all golf facilities under the direction of the Nicklaus Design company.
The golf course was originally designed by Bill Amick and opened to the public in 1962. The Club serves as the home of Florida State University's men's and women's golf teams. The new golf course can be lengthened to as much as 7,800 yards and a par 72, sitting on 174 acres.

ON THE VERGE OF HISTORY
It's been nothing short of a historic season for the 2024-25 team, setting new accolades no team in Ole Miss history has ever done before.
• Currently tied for the second-most rounds under-par in a single season by an Ole Miss team at 21.
• The Rebels carded the second lowest single round score in school history, shooting 265 in the first round at the 2025 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship.
• Set the second lowest 54-hole score (819) twice this season. First at the 2024 Visit Knoxville Collegiate and again at the 2025 Mason Rudolph Championship.
• La Sasso currently sits tied for second alongside former Rebel Braden Thornberry for the most rounds in the 60s in a single season at 16.
THOSE BOYS CAN PLAY
The recipe for success for Ole Miss this season has been solid team golf. Michael La Sasso, Cameron Tankersley, Cohen Trolio, Kye Meeks, Tom Fischer and Collins Trolio have all finished inside the top five at least once this season.
Tankersley and Meeks set new career-best finishes and career-low 54-hole scores during the fall. Tom Fischer secured his first collegiate win at the 2025 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship, carding a new-career low 54-hole score of 203 in route to victory.
La Sasso broke through for his first collegiate victory back in October at the Hamptons Intercollegiate (Oct. 7-8). The junior from Raleigh, North Carolina dominated the field shooting (-15, 201) winning the event by 11 strokes. He picked up his second win in the regular season finale alongside Fischer at Old Waverly. Cohen Trolio began his spring with a new career-low 54-hole score of (-11, 205) finishing fifth at the Puerto Rico Classic.
GAME RECOGNIZES GAME
Michael La Sasso and Tom Fischer earned Southeastern Conference postseason recognition, the league announced May 9. La Sasso earned First Team All-SEC honors and Fischer was voted Second Team All-SEC. Fischer was also selected to the SEC Community Service Team.
La Sasso was also selected to represent Team USA in the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup, marking the second straight year he will represent the United States. He is also one of 15 collegiate golfers to be named to the 2024-2025 Haskins Award presented by Stifel Postseason Watch List.
LAST TIME IN TALLAHASSEE
The last Ole Miss outing in Tallahassee resulted in a victory when the Rebels came out winners at the Seminole Intercollegiate in March of 2024. Michael La Sasso, Kye Meeks, Cameron Tankersley and Tom Fischer all competed in the event, with the foursome all finishing inside the top 14 individually.
Head Coach Chris Malloy is no stranger to Tallahassee where he spent four seasons as an assistant at FSU. Malloy produced four All-Americans, four All-ACC selections and one ACC individual champion, including the 2010 ACC Player of the Year and multiple major championship winner, Brooks Koepka.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Rebels look to make it back to California after heartbreak last season at the Stanford Regional where they fell one stroke from the cut line to advance to the NCAA Championship. The team finished the 2023-24 regular season with seven top five finishes, 16 individual top 10 finishes, and a team victory at the Seminole Intercollegiate down in Tallahassee. The Rebels carded 20 rounds under par, including a 262-round score on the final day of the 2023 Visit Knoxville Collegiate. The 262 score of (-18) set the new lowest single-round score in program history.
