The fall portion of the college golf season has come to a close, which means it’s time to recognize players who set themselves apart as frontrunners in women’s college golf over the past two and a half months.
The Annika Award presented by Stifel honors the player of the year in women’s college golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the college golf media. The players are listed alphabetically. Players on the Annika Award Watch List were selected by a panel of Golfweek and Golf Channel reporters.
