25 of the top players in women’s college golf have been selected to the 2027 ANNIKA Award preseason watch list ahead of the 2026- 2027 season.
The list includes reigning ANNIKA Award winner Farah O’Keefe of Texas, along with several established players from across Division I women’s golf. O’Keefe won four times last season, including the NCAA individual championship, before going 5 and 0 in the Curtis Cup.
