The University of Wyoming men’s golf team will extend its 2025-26 season after accepting an invitation to the 2026 National Golf Invitational, scheduled for May 22-24 at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes.

The event gives the Cowboys another opportunity to compete at a national level and gain experience. Head coach Joe Jensen said, “What an awesome competition for our guys to participate in. We had a last-place finish in the first tournament this year. For us to come so far is just phenomenal. We played our way into this invite. It will be a valuable tournament experience for our young guys.”

This marks the fourth annual National Golf Invitational, with Wyoming having participated in two of the first three years of the event. The Cowboys finished as runner-up in the inaugural competition in 2023 and took fifth place in 2024.

A new feature of this year’s men’s tournament is an exemption awarded to its individual winner, who will earn entry into the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on Oct. 22-26 at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda.

With recent performances and continued opportunities such as these, Wyoming’s men’s golf program continues building competitive experience on a national stage.
