Women's Golf Welcomes Three Newcomers In Class Of 2029
May 28, 2025 | Women's Golf
Fresh off an Ivy League championship and an appearance in the 2025 NCAA Regionals, Princeton will add three newcomers to its roster for the 2025-26 season as Tigers look to carry forward the strong momentum earned during this most recent season.
All three incoming players have achieved success at the amateur level, with wins on the AJGA Tour and high finishes at national-level amateur events.
Among the many accolades already earned by members of this group -- Qualification for the 2025 U.S. Women's Open; A U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball championship; Rolex Junior All-America selections; Advancement to Match Play at the U.S. Women's Amateur; An appearance in a LPGA Tour event.
Add it all up, and this group has been ranked No. 6 in the country by CollegeGolfCommits.com.
"We are excited to welcome these three outstanding young women to Princeton this fall," said head coach Erika DeSanty. "Not only are they elite golfers, they are amazing students and young women. They have a strong desire to maximize their golf experience and prepare themselves for future opportunities while experiencing everything that a world-class institution like Princeton has to offer. I can't wait to watch them compete this summer and to have them join our team in September."
Meet the Princeton women's golf Class of 2029!
