Lindblad, the top-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, NCAA rankings, and Clippd rankings, earned her name on the ANNIKA Award with her stellar final year at LSU. With four wins in the 2023-2024 season, including a Regional win, Lindblad has a total of 15 collegiate wins throughout her five years, now holding the SEC Career Wins Record. In addition to her many victories, she captured a top 5 spot in every tournament this season by shooting even or under par in every round. After being on the ANNIKA Award Watch List for four years in a row, Lindblad can now say she is an ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel winner and the first Swedish player named to the Award.

As a result of winning the 2024 ANNIKA Award Presented by Stifel, Lindblad receives an exemption to compete in the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship, one of the LPGA Tour’s five major championships.

“I’m so happy.” said Lindblad when receiving the award. “I feel like I've worked hard for this and this was one of the reasons I came back for my fifth year, so it feels good to kind of close my college career out, and I'm very thankful for this award.”

“I think the first time I played in something with one of Annika’s events was in 2014 when I played the Junior Am for the ANNIKA Invitational for Europe.” continued Lindblad. “Then the next year I played the Annika Cup… and then played the European events and then the USA one and then a couple years ago we (LSU) played the (ANNIKA) Intercollegiate so I feel like I've kind of taken the Annika journey a little bit.” 

“This year’s winner is amazing just like all the other nine winners (of the ANNIKA Award).” said Annika. “This is the 10th year we are celebrating this and obviously I want to thank Stifel for their support. I’m super excited and happy for Ingrid.” 

Talking to Ingrid, she continues "It’s been exciting for us to just follow your journey to see how you’ve grown as a player and as a person. Obviously now you have some great things coming up with turning pro at some point, but I'm very happy for you and with what you have done on the course and also what you stand for as a character amongst your peers… and glad to see a Swede on here (the ANNIKA Award). There are some wonderful names on this trophy and all the players on here have gone on to do some great things and I see the same thing for Ingrid.”
