This is the first tournament of the season for the Women of Troy.
MINNEAPOLIS – No. 4 USC Women's Golf is kicking off the 2025-26 season this week. To kick off the fall schedule, the Trojans will head to the ANNIKA Intercollegiate in Minneapolis to compete from Monday, Sept. 8, through Wednesday, Sept. 10, at the Royal Golf Club. The first round will begin at 6:30 a.m. PT.
LAST SEASON
This is the start of the eighth season under Head Coach Justin Silverstein, who guided the Trojans to the NCAA Quarterfinals last season. The team brings back most of its starting lineup, including All-Americans Jasmine Koo and Catherine Park. Both Koo and Park earned Preseason All-America honors for this season as well and were named as Players to Watch heading into this tournament. Other key players in Kylie Chong and Bailey Shoemaker also return to Los Angeles for the 2025-26 season.
Across the 2024-25 season, the Trojans secured seven Top Three finishes, including four team wins. One of their wins came in the first tournament of the season, when they competed at the Leadership and Golf Invitational.
NEW ADDITIONS
During the offseason, the Trojans added three new faces to the lineup, including two freshmen and a transfer. From the transfer portal, USC grabbed Elise Lee, who came to the Trojans from Northwestern. She was a key part of her team becoming NCAA Champions. She maintained a 73.38 scoring average throughout the year and posted five Top 25 finishes, including a 17th-place finish at the NCAA Norman Regional.
Along with Lee, freshmen Sarah Hammett and Chloe Kim also joined the roster. Hammett finished in the Top Five in three straight tournaments, including second-place finishes at the Australian Women's Amateur Championship and the Greg Norman Junior Masters. She also grabbed a second-place finish at the Katherine Kirk Classic earlier in the year. Kim, on the other hand, was a two-time CIF San Joaquin League Player of the Year and All-First Team selection. She also finished in the Top Five in the AJGA five times and in the TTC 10 times.
THE FIELD
USC is facing some tough competition in the first tournament of the season, including reigning NCAA Champions Northwestern. Along with the Wildcats, the Trojans will face Texas, Wake Forest, San Jose State, Arizona State, South Carolina, Oregon, Pepperdine, Minnesota, Duke and Cal.
