The countdown to my favorite week in amateur golf is on!
In just a few short weeks, the seventh edition of the Augusta National Women's Amateur will be played out in front of our eyes—and once more, spring will be in full bloom, the birds will chirp their cheery little songs, and I'll gorge out on peach ice cream sandwiches.

Earlier this month, Augusta National confirmed that all invites for this year's championship had been sent out, and we'd wait to see who would accept the coveted summon.
Notably, the entire Stanford Women's Golf lineup received and accepted the offer, including senior Megha Ganne, who will compete in her sixth ANWA.

Per the official announcement, the 72-player field will be comprised of each of the top 20 players in the current World Amateur Golf Ranking and 48 of the top 50 overall. Players representing 23 different countries and territories as well as all six inhabited continents will compete in this year's championship.
The 72nd spot was initially held for the winner of the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific, which was contested February 12–15. But this year's champion, Yunseo Yang, had already qualified and accepted her spot at ANWA.
So who is the final piece of the puzzle?
Augusta National has confirmed with Skratch that the 72nd and final player in this year's field is Louise Landgraf of France, who was offered a special invitation.
Here's what we know about her—she's just 17 years old and has committed to Florida State University to play collegiate golf. Landgraf will make her first championship start, and secured her invite by defending her title in the Portuguese Women's Amateur earlier this year. She won the 2025 Irish Women's Amateur Open Stroke Play and in 2024, she won both the R&A Girls' Under-16 Amateur in England and the Annika Invitational Europe in Sweden.
Needless to say, she's plenty qualified to tee it up against the other best amateurs in the world.
The championship will be contested April 1-4, where the first two rounds will take place on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club on Wednesday, April 1 and Thursday, April 2. After the first 36 holes, the field will be reduced to the top-30 and ties. The entire field, even those who missed the cut, will play Augusta National Golf Club for a practice round on Friday, April 3. The final round will take place on Saturday, April 4 at Augusta National.
