THE COURSE:
Mystic Rock, the dream of Nemacolin's founder, Joseph A. Hardy III, brought to life by prominent designer Pete Dye, is one of the country's finest golf courses. Perched atop the Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains, the 7,526-yard Mystic Rock spans acres of the scenic Laurel Highlands, offering players championship-level golf in a spectacular setting.

Nemacolin and Golf Architect Tim Liddy partnered with Pete Dye — before Dye's passing — with designs for an impressive and extensive bunker renovation to Mystic Rock, which was completed in 2021. The transformation to upgrade the bunkers, playing surfaces, and tee boxes solidifies Mystic Rock as one of the premier mountain courses in the country.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host West Virginia, the large field includes 17 other schools: Bucknell, Campbell, Davidson, Delaware, Eastern Kentucky, George Mason, George Washington, James Madison, Mount St. Mary's, Penn State, Richmond, Robert Morris, Saint Francis, Towson, VCU, Western Carolina and William & Mary.

THE FORMAT:

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play two continuous rounds on Monday beginning with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. A final round will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
