Meet the golfers on the 2025 ANNIKA Award preseason watch list
College golf is back, which means it's time to look at Player of the Year candidates.
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.
On Wednesday, the ANNIKA Foundation announced its 2025 ANNIKA Award preseason watch list. The players are listed alphabetically. Players on the ANNIKA Award Watch List were selected by a panel of Golfweek and Golf Channel writers.
Last year, LSU's Ingrid Lindblad took home the honor. This season, plenty of others will vie for the top honor in women's college golf, including the world's top-ranked amateur and plenty of underclassmen ready to make their mark.
One school has multiple players on the initial watch list: Stanford.
