NCAA approves changes to college golf transfer portal dates
The NCAA has approved new transfer portal dates for Division I college golf, aiming to preserve championship integrity.
The NCAA approved Wednesday changes to the Division I college golf transfer portal dates, effective immediately. The Division I Men's and Women's Golf Oversight Committee submitted a proposal earlier this year to discuss changing the dates for student-athletes to enter the transfer portal. The committee filed an amendment to rule 13.
1. 1. 4, which reads as follows: specify that an undergraduate student-athlete may initiate notification of transfer Dec.
1-15 or a 15 consecutive-day period beginning the day after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Golf Championships, respectively. The Division I Council approved the changes this week. The dates for the women's transfer portal are now open May 28-June 11 with the men's portal opening from June 4-18.
There remains a portal window open from Dec. 1-15, as well. During its February filing, the Oversight Committee said the old timing of the 30-day notification of transfer period raised concerns related to preserving the integrity of the Division I Men's and Women's Golf Championships.
