The two-day, 54-hole classic will consist of 16 teams playing the first two rounds on Monday, with the final round on Tuesday. The University of Tennessee at Martin event will be played at the Par-72, 6,685 yard Paris Landing State Park, and part of the Tennessee Golf Trail.
The Tigers will face off against Alabama State and Jackson State, as well as Ohio Valley Conference opponents Austin Peay, Murray State and the host, UTM.
