Golfweek’s 2023-24 preseason women’s college golf All-Americans

The 2023-24 college golf season is upon us, which has our minds looking ahead to the postseason awards.

Sure, the summer just ended, but it’s never too early to look ahead.

Highlighting Golfweek’s 2023-24 preseason women’s college golf All-Americans is Megan Schofill, the graduate student from Auburn who captured the 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles. Runner-up twice at the SEC Championship during her career, Schofill finally got over the hump in the City of Angels, capturing the signature win of her career. Last season, Schofill was a second-team All-America selection.

Here’s a look at the Golfweek’s 2023-24 preseason women’s college golf All-Americans.

Amari Avery, USC

Heading into her junior season at USC, Avery has won four times for the Trojans and carded 11 top-10 finishes. This summer, she made match play at the U.S. Women’s Amateur and also played in the U.S. Women’s Open. She’s a two-time All-American, earning third-team honors last season.

Darling, a junior, has been one of the best players in college golf the past two seasons. The two-time All-American has nine top-five finishes in her first two seasons at South Carolina and advanced to the semifinals of the Women’s Amateur Championship in 2022.

Heath, who won the Smyth Salver finishing as the low amateur at the AIG Women’s Open, is one of the best golfers in Florida State history. Last season, she set a new single-season stroke average mark at 70.56 and has 16 top-10 finishes in three years. She’s a reigning first-team All-America selection.

Rachel Heck, Stanford

The 2021 NCAA individual champion is finally healthy, and she showed it with a semifinal appearance at the 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bel-Air. Heck, who won the ANNIKA Award in 2021 as player of the year, looks primed to step back into the spotlight and become one of college golf’s best again.

Rachel Kuehn, Wake Forest

Kuehn’s resume is impressive. Four-time All-American, four-time Palmer Cup member, two-time Curtis Cupper, back-to-back ACC Player of the Year, and last season, she added national champion, helping Wake Forest win its first title in school history. Kuehn decided to return as a graduate student this year, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to see her add more accolades.

Ingrid Lindblad, LSU

Lindblad, the top-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and winner of the Mark H. McCormack medal, has been as consistent as they come in college golf. She’s a tour-time first-team All-American, was low amateur at the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open and two-time SEC Player of the Year.

The reigning SEC Player of the Year has a breakout season as a sophomore. Lopez Ramirez is a two-time All-American and won three times, including the SEC Championship and NCAA Westfield Regional. She also had eight top-five finishes in 12 events.

Megan Schofill, Auburn

Schofill proved her worth this summer, as the graduate student at Auburn won the 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bel-Air Country Club. She’s a two-time All-American and been on three Palmer Cup teams. She has finished as the individual runner-up in each of the past two SEC Championships.
