The 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Men's Golf Championship will tee-off this weekend on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in the state of Alabama. The 54-hole men's championship will be held April 25-27 at The Shoals in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
The men's golf championship will feature 11 teams - Austin Peay, Belmont, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Murray State, SIUE, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin. The teams will have a practice round on Saturday and tee off on Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m.

The Shoals is home to two 18-hole championship courses and lies between the Wheeler and Wilson dams on the Tennessee River. Wheeler Dam is named in honor of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler - the only Confederate General to attain the same rank later in the United States Army. The Fighting Joe course at The Shoals was the first Trail course to break 8,000 yards. Travel + Leisure Golf named Fighting Joe one of the top new courses in 2004.
For the Championship, Fighting Joe will be par 72 with yardage of 7,258.
The OVC Men's Championship has been held at The Shoals seven times previously (2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019). The event was scheduled to be at the course last year but canceled due to the pandemic.
