  • Oregon is set to return to the Baton Rouge regional where it last competed in 2017. At that year's regional the Ducks finished third as a team while a pair of PGATour Pro Ducks Wyndham Clark (2nd) and Norman Xiong (T-7th) each finished inside the top 10.
  • Oregon is making its 17th straight appearance at the NCAA Regionals. The Ducks are seeking a third-straight trip to the NCAA Championships and 12th overall under head coach Casey Martin.
  • Oregon came in at No. 24 in the May 1 College Golf Rankings and are one of five Pac-12 programs to feature in the top 25.
  • Fifth-year senior Nate Stember is climbing the ranks of the Oregon men's golf record book in his final season as a Duck. With 492 career birdies, Stember has the third most by any Duck since at least 1993-94, and is seeking to join Eugene Wong (505) and Daniel Miernicki (563) as the only golfers in program history to eclipse 500.
  • Oregon's lineup is loaded with experience as the Ducks will start four of the five players from its run in the 2023 NCAA Regionals and the NCAA Championships. Stember leads the way and is joined by Owen Avrit, Aiden Krafft and Greyson Leach, while Eric Doyle enters the lineup as the No. 5 for the Ducks after a top-10 finish at the Pac-12 Championships.
  • At the Amer Ari Intercollegiate (Feb. 8-10) Oregon tied the third-lowest tournament to par in program history at 33 under. The Ducks were led by Stember who carded a career-best 13 under (203) as he tied for 19th overall. Each of Oregon's five starters finished the tournament under par as the Ducks finished 14th in a field that featured nine programs ranked in the top 25.
