Stanford qualified for its first NCAA Championship since winning the national title in 2019, Oregon will make its first trip since 2018, and Utah advanced for the first time since 1988 and just the second time in the past 57 seasons.
OREGON STATE's Carson Barry and WASHINGTON's RJ Manke both won playoffs to advance to the NCAA Championships, giving the Pac-12 two of the six regional-site individual qualifiers.
The 30 NCAA Championships qualifying teams will compete in 72 holes of stroke play, crowning an individual national champion at that junction, with the top eight teams advancing to a match-play tournament.
Since adjusting to a team match-play format in 2009, the Pac-12 is tied with the Big 12 with a national-best 23 team match-play participants. The Conference has produced a title match participant in four of the last six events, including a pair of national champions (Oregon 2016, Stanford 2019), and 10 semifinalists.
