Jasmine Koo Selected to Play in the Curtis Cup
May 18, 2026 | Women's Golf
Koo will make her second-career appearance on the United States' Curtis Cup squad.
LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. — Sophomore Jasmine Koo of the No. 2 USC Women's Golf Team was selected to compete in the 2026 Curtis Cup, which was announced by the USGA on Monday, May 18.
Koo will make her second-career Curtis Cup appearance this summer at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, where teams of eight female amateur golfers from the United States and Great Britain & Ireland will compete in a match-play-style tournament from June 12-14. Held biennially since 1932, Koo and Team USA will look to avenge the 2024 team, which lost by a single point to Great Britain & Ireland. The United States has won 31 of the 43 contested matches.
After putting together a historic sophomore campaign, Koo's selection on the team is well-deserved.
In just her second season at USC, Koo became the program's all-time wins leader with eight titles, including winning the program's first Big Ten Championship. In the fall, the sophomore from Cerritos, Calif. tied for first at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic, helping the Trojans set the program's best 54-hole tournament score. Then in the spring, Koo won three more tournaments — the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational, Chevron Silverado Showdown and the Big Ten Championships — to become USC's winningest player.
An ANNIKA Award Finalist, Koo enters the NCAA Championship having won three of the last four tournaments in which she has played. She is currently ranked No. 18 in the Scoreboard individual national rankings.
The full list of selections is as follows:
