UBC will be the lone team representing the Cascade Collegiate Conference, while two other student-athletes will compete as individuals: Bushnell University’s Andrew Webb – who won the CCC individual title – and Kristof Panke.
The 156-player field consists of 20 automatic qualifying teams, which won their respective conference/independent tournament or were ranked in the final Top 25 for the conference’s second automatic berth one host berth to St. Ambrose and seven at-large team berths.

From an individual standpoint, there were 11 individual qualifiers to this years' title fight. To receive an individual automatic berth, the conference medalist must be from a team who did not win the conference team title or be an All-Tournament Team honoree from the previous year’s national championships that did not qualify otherwise. To earn an at-large individual berth, the selection is determined by the NAIA Men’s Golf Executive Committee.
