Get ready, junior golf enthusiasts! The second annual LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Championship, presented by Marie Birdie, is set to ignite the greens at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C. This isn’t just any tournament; it’s a thrilling convergence where the brightest young talents meet the legacy of women’s golf, all happening alongside The Amundi Evian Championship!
This championship is a cornerstone of the LPGA Foundation’s ambitious “One Million MORE Girls” campaign, driving towards inspiring another million girls by 2030, building on the incredible success of already reaching one million participants.
A powerhouse field of 144 players from 12 international countries and 25 U.S. states will battle it out across three divisions: Discovery, Futures National, and Bell National. Get ready to witness some incredible talent!
Here are some of the key players to keep your eyes on:
- Discovery Division: Don’t miss Isabella Miller, the 10-year-old sensation from Florida, who’s already racked up impressive wins and clinched a top-five finish in 2024. Her game is electrifying!
- Futures National Division: This division features Allyson Bell, famously known as the “Millionth Girl” in Girls Golf history – a true symbol of the program’s success. Also watch out for Madelyn Dickerson, who dominated the Discovery Division in 2024 and boasts a collection of national and world titles. These two are bound to bring the heat!
- Bell National Division: The competition here will be fierce! Look for Maria Isabella Errichetto, a high-ranking player in the PKBGT Performance Index and a proud member of the Colombian National Team. And of course, defending champion Riley Grimm, who conquered the inaugural Bell National event in 2024, will be back to defend her title. Canada’s own Anna Wu, the reigning Futures National champion, is also moving up and expected to make a significant impact in this division.
Get ready for an unforgettable display of skill, determination, and the pure joy of golf!
