The 2026 Augusta National Women's Amateur (ANWA) features a strong contingent of collegiate golfers from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The prestigious 54-hole tournament, which began on April 2, 2026, at Champions Retreat Golf Club, will conclude with its final round at Augusta National Golf Club on April 5, 2026.
Among the 72 competitors are several top-ranked players from ACC schools. The field includes athletes from universities such as Duke, Wake Forest, and Florida State, who earned their spots through World Amateur Golf Ranking positions and other qualifying criteria.
The ANWA, first held in 2019, is a premier event in women's amateur golf. The final round's broadcast from Augusta National provides significant exposure for the competitors. The winner receives an invitation to the next five ANWAs, the 2026 U.S. Women's Open, the 2026 Women's British Open, and any USGA, R&A, and PGA of America amateur championships for which she is eligible for one year.
