IRVINE, Calif. – UC Irvine men's golf has announced its 2025-26 schedule which gets underway in late September.
 
"This schedule will challenge our team with a balance of several good courses that are different from last season along with some great venues we have played in past years," UCI head coach Paul Smolinski said. "There are tournaments that we should have a chance to win if we play well and others where we will have an opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the country. When we get to May, our players will be well prepared for the Big West Championship and NCAA postseason play."
 
UC Irvine's season kicks off with a trip to Eerie, Colorado, for the Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational, Sept. 29-30.
 
The Anteaters will then head to the Central Valley for the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational (Oct. 9-11). The 'Eaters are right back in action the following week as they look to defend their 2024 Oregon State Invitational title. UCI closes out its fall schedule at the Ka'anapali Classic in Maui, Oct. 27-29.
 
UC Irvine starts the 2026 portion of its schedule in February at the Bill Cullum Invitational in Somis, California (Feb. 2-3). The Anteaters then make their way to Palm Desert as they are set to compete in the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate (Feb. 23-25) for the fifth year in a row.
 
The 'Eaters will take a couple trips to San Diego to begin the month of March as they head to the Lamkin Invitational at San Diego Country Club (March 9-10), before hitting the links at Torrey Pines for the UC San Diego Invitational (March 22-24). UCI then travels to Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Arizona, for the Wyoming Cowboy Classic (March 31-April 1).
