Eight Players Selected to Represent Team USA at 2026 Curtis Cup
The United States Golf Association completed the roster for the 2026 Curtis Cup Match, with eight players set to represent Team USA from June 12 through 14 at Bel-Air Country Club.
The final four committee selections were Ohio State’s Kary Hollenbaugh, USC sophomore Jasmine Koo, Mississippi State standout Avery Weed, and Stanford senior Kelly Xu. They join previously announced selections Anna Davis, Farah O’Keefe, Kiara Romero, and Asterisk Talley.
The roster includes five players currently ranked inside the top 20 of the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking along with three returners from the 2024 Curtis Cup team. Talley and Koo each posted 2-1-1 records during the 2024 competition at Sunningdale, while Davis also returns with prior Curtis Cup experience.
Meghan Stasi will once again captain Team USA after previously leading the squad and competing on the victorious 2008 American team at St. Andrews.
Davis brings one of the strongest international résumés on the roster after representing the United States in the Arnold Palmer Cup, Junior Solheim Cup, Junior Ryder Cup, Women’s World Amateur Team Championship, and Curtis Cup. The Auburn standout also won the 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
Romero enters the event as the 2025 McCormack Medal winner and one of the top amateurs in the world following multiple collegiate victories and strong performances in elite amateur and professional events. Talley continues to build one of the top junior résumés in golf and defeated former world No. 1 amateur Lottie Woad during singles play at the 2024 Curtis Cup.
Koo returns after a successful 2024 Curtis Cup appearance and continues to add to her résumé at USC. The remaining first time selections add depth across the lineup, including Hollenbaugh’s multiple wins at Ohio State, O’Keefe’s standout season at Texas, Weed’s consistent results at Mississippi State, and Xu’s role on Stanford’s NCAA championship team.
