Team/Event Notes:

After 12 tournaments throughout the 2024-25 academic year, Texas Tech's Klara Hurtova is preparing to make her NCAA postseason debut, May 5-7, on her home course in Lubbock.
Hurtova was one of six individuals chosen to participate in the Lubbock Regional, hosted at the Rawls Course, in addition to 12 teams selected to compete at the site.
Hurtova's NCAA appearance marks the second year in a row the Red Raiders qualified an individual for the postseason, dating back to Lauren Zaretsky being selected for the 2024 Las Vegas Regional. It also marks the second year in a row Texas Tech will not participate in a regional, as a team, after eight consecutive appearances. Despite the team not appearing in the last two seasons, the Red Raiders extended their streak to 15 consecutive years qualifying for the postseason, as a team or with an individual, under head coach JoJo Robertson since her hire in the summer of 2009.
Texas Tech's Rawls Course is one of six sites to host regional play in 2025; 12 teams and six individuals will be at each site. The top five teams (30 in total) and the lowest individual not associated with an advancing team (six in total) from each site will move on to compete in the national championships in Carlsbad, Calif.
The Rawls Course is set to host an NCAA event for the fourth time. It has previously been a regional host for the women in 2005 and 2017, while the men's team last hosted a regional at the Rawls in 2015.
As the three-seed among the individuals in the Lubbock Regional, Hurtova led the Red Raiders this season with a 73.2 scoring average over 12 events and 35 rounds. She enters her first postseason with six top 20 finishes and two wins during her sophomore campaign.
Hurtova was tabbed the Big 12 Golfer of the Month for March on April 3. Hurtova won her first two career events during the month while leading the Red Raiders to a team win in one of the two events.
