UF MGOLF: Gators to Commence Fall Slate at Blessings Collegiate Invitational

The Florida men’s golf team will begin the 2020 fall season in Fayetteville, Ark., at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Florida men’s golf team head to Fayetteville, Ark. to compete in the Blessings Collegiate Invitational. This event, hosted by the University of Arkansas, is set to run from Monday, Oct. 5 to Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Format: Each team will compete in 54 holes of stroke play over three days. The Gators will tee it up on Monday at 8:53 a.m. ET. Unlike other tournaments, teams will play in their own ‘pod’ instead of mixed pairings. To help combat a situation where a team is unable to participate due to a player showing COVID-19 symptoms, the four best scores will be counted each day instead of five.

Course Information: The tournament is being played at Blessings Golf Club, home of the Arkansas Razorbacks, with a Par 72 over 7,503 yards.

How to Follow: There will be four hours of live coverage on the Golf Channel from 3:30 – 7:30 p.m. (ET) daily. Live scoring will also be available on GolfStat.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__results.golfstat.com_public_leaderboards_gsnav.cfm-3Fpg-3Dteam-26tid-3D21282&d=DwIFAg&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=o5LKAX7slotfFMyE71jI7L22NYBIi1-KbRGNSXudTPo&m=fb4Po91JoxsdqhcN6q_I_ldRZEl9s2dZ7QppBSbAFvE&s=ZgqeUa-vkqdEUiemlM_m3x2e7Uec3MQP-9nRQWrCaTY&e= > and updates will be provided on Twitter via @GatorsGolf.
