WICHITA, Kan. – Head coach Grier Jones announced Friday the 2018-19 Wichita State men's golf schedule, which will include 11 tournaments overall.

The Shockers appear in seven tournaments that they participated in 2017-18, opening the season at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational [Sept. 10-11] in Huntington, W.V.

"We have several events that we play in every year and the guys can have some experience at these certain golf courses," Jones said. "We're excited to add a few new events this year, and also looking forward to going back to Innsbrook Resort for the American Athletic Conference Championship. We're really looking forward to beginning of the year in West Virginia."

Wichita State will see five teams that participated in the 2018 NCAA Championships during the season. The Shockers start this stretch against Kansas in The Jackrabbit on Sept. 30-Oct.2 in addition to facing conference foe UCF.

Adding three new tournaments to their schedule, the Shockers will head to the 34th Louisiana Classics for the first time. Teams featured in Lafayette, La., include 2018 NCAA Championship participants Illinois and Kent State.  
 
The Shockers open their season with the Joe Feaganes Invitational for the fourth consecutive year and follow that up with the Ram Masters Invitational for the seventh straight season Sept. 17-18. The fall schedule will wrap up with the Herb Wimberly Invitational in Las Cruces, N.M., for the eighth year running, with two Shockers having top 50 finishes in last year's tournament.

The spring schedule will consist of seven tournaments beginning with the Farm's Invitational [Feb. 11-12] in San Diego, Calif.
