The ANNIKA Foundation is proud to host the 2025 ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M from September 8–10 at Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Widely regarded as one of the premier events in women’s collegiate golf, the tournament will welcome 12 of the nation’s top-ranked programs, including the reigning NCAA Champions, Northwestern University. The competition will be broadcast via livestream for the second and final rounds by Babygrande Golf.
Coverage will feature a seasoned team of commentators and analysts: David Marr III, a veteran Golf Channel host and broadcaster with deep knowledge of the professional and collegiate game; Steve Scott, remembered for his legendary duel with Tiger Woods at the 1996 U.S. Amateur, now a respected PGA professional and coach; Emilia Migliaccio Doran, a former Wake Forest All-American and Curtis Cup player, now a rising voice in golf media.
The winning team will receive one exemption into The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, an LPGA Tour event taking place November 13–16, 2025, in Belleair, Florida. Coaches and the team will select one player of their choice to accept the exemption, giving a collegiate star the opportunity to compete alongside the world’s best professionals.
Last year, the University of South Carolina captured the title in dominating fashion, with Hannah Darling notching an emotional individual victory. Demonstrating the team-first spirit of the event, Darling passed the LPGA exemption to her teammate, Louise Rydqvist, who went on to make her second consecutive appearance in the Tour event.
“We are thrilled to welcome such an elite field back to the ANNIKA Intercollegiate,” said Annika. “This tournament continues to showcase the very best in women’s collegiate golf while also inspiring these young athletes to grow as leaders both on and off the course.”
The ANNIKA Intercollegiate, now a staple on the fall collegiate calendar, remains a vital part of the Foundation’s mission to provide opportunities for young women in golf and beyond.
