Earlier this week, The Annika Award presented by Stifel announced its first spring watch list, featuring 15 of the best women’s college golfers this season.
Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is presented annually to the top female Division I collegiate golfer; the winner voted on by players, coaches, and members of the golf media. Named for and presented by LPGA legend, Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Commission to acknowledge the top female golfer at the end of each season. This award is intended to match the Haskins Award presented by Stifel which acknowledges the top male Division I collegiate golfer.
Maisie Filler, a senior at Florida who has risen to No. 1 in the NCAA college golf rankings, leading with 3 wins this season, but there are plenty of other big names in contention. Stanford is the only school with two players on the watch list. Just because a player isn’t on the Spring watch list doesn’t mean she can’t play her way on to it later in the season. There are still many chances for players to showcase their skills.
The women’s college golf season is creeping closer as the NCAA Championship nears. Starting May 17th through the 22nd, the NCAA Women’s Championship will be held at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.
