BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech women's golf head coach Carol Robertson has announced the 2021 spring schedule, featuring five regular-season tournaments – capped by a match play event hosted by Virginia.
"We are all looking forward to seeing this schedule be put into action," Robertson noted. "The challenges we are currently facing have been frustrating, while also bringing forth extra excitement to compete again as a team. This team has continued to be focused on their games and will be ready and honored in February to compete once again for the Hokies."
The Hokies will open their sixth season of competition at the Heroes Ladies Intercollegiate hosted by Purdue. The three-day tournament is set for February 7-9 at The Founders Club in Sarasota, Fla.
For the first time in program history, Tech will compete at the College of Charleston's Palmetto Spring Intercollegiate. Turtle Point Golf Course in Kiawah Island, S.C., will welcome the tournament field, February 21-22.
Tech returns to the Valspar Augusta Invitational, March 13-14, for the first time since 2018. The Hokies tied for sixth in their most recent appearance at the tournament, which is hosted by Augusta at Forest Hills Golf Club.
To conclude the stroke-play portion of its regular season, Tech will compete at the Clemson Invitational, March 26-28, held at The Reserve at Lake Keowee in Lake Keowee, S.C.
The penultimate event prior to the ACC Championship will be the Cavalier Match Play hosted by Virginia, April 6-7, at the recently-renovated Birdwood Golf Course.
Originally scheduled to debut its format change in 2020, the ACC Championship rolls out its new format at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., April 15-18. Three rounds of stroke play on the first two days will cut the field to the low four teams for semifinals and finals of match play to determine the ACC champion.
The NCAA Regional round is May 10-12, with the NCAA Championship to be contested at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 21-26. Tech has competed in the NCAA Regionals twice (2018 and 2019) under Robertson, with Amanda Hollandsworth advancing to the NCAA Championship as an individual in 2019 – finishing fifth, nationally.
