The Entire Stanford Golf Lineup Will Return to Augusta...Again

The top-ranked team in collegiate golf continues to prove exactly why they are the best.

Stanford women's golf under coach Anne Walker's leadership is like Nick Saban's University of Alabama football dynasty—the just keep winning. Even when they're not winning, they're putting themselves in the best positions to do so. Not to mention their recruiting classes are consistently strong. Teen sensation and rising star, Asterisk Talley, who is the top-ranked junior in the Class of 2027, committed to The Farm last fall.

All signs point to Stanford being the ones to watch this spring—especially during the 2026 Augusta National Women’s Amateur, taking place April 1-4.

For the second year in a row, the entirety of the Stanford lineup is returning to ANWA.

This will be the seventh edition of the coveted event, and senior Megha Ganne has been invited six times. The 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur champion secured her invite last summer at Bandon Dunes.

Along with Ganne, her teammate Meja Örtengren will return for the fourth time in her career. While Paula Martín Sampedro, Andrea Revuelta, and Kelly Xu are back for the third time.

The full field, that features talent from across the world, has not yet been finalized.
