Los Angeles – USC Women’s Golf is preparing for an exciting 2025-26 season, featuring a competitive schedule that includes 11 regular-season tournaments and three potential postseason opportunities. Under the guidance of head coach Justin Silverstein, the Trojans are targeting a strong showing in both conference and national competitions.
The season kicks off at the Annika Intercollegiate, scheduled for September 8-10 at the Royal Golf Club in Minneapolis. This prestigious tournament will feature the Trojans competing against some of the top programs in collegiate golf.
After the Annika, USC will have a two-week break in preparation for the Golfweek Red Sky Classic, which runs from September 22-24 at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colorado. This event will see the Trojans facing off against 19 other teams, adding to the competition early in the season.
Next, USC will participate in the Stanford Intercollegiate, taking place from October 17-19 at the Stanford Golf Course in Palo Alto. As the defending champions of this tournament, the Trojans have an impressive track record, having won the event a record six times, which ties them with Stanford for the most victories in history.
The fall season culminates with the East Lake Cup from October 27-29 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. USC aims to regain the title they previously secured four times in their last five appearances at this prestigious tournament.
The spring season will commence with the Battle of LA against rival UCLA, taking place at Rancho La Quinta Country Club in La Quinta, California. Following last year’s victory, the Trojans are eager to retain the coveted bell trophy.
USC will then move to the Therese Hession Regional Challenge at Palos Verdes Golf Club, scheduled from February 1-3. The Trojans are hopeful to claim their sixth title in this event, which would tie them with UCLA’s current record.
The Alice and John Wallace Classic is set to occur on Valentine’s Day weekend at Monterey Country Club, providing another competitive opportunity for the team. Shortly thereafter, USC will host the GameAbove Invitational on March 9-10 at Rolling Hills Country Club, marking their first tournament under Coach Silverstein’s leadership.
The team will then travel to Hawaii for the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Honolulu on March 17-18, followed by a trip to Phoenix for the Ping ASU Invitational from March 23-25. These tournaments will serve as critical preparations leading into the final events of the regular season.
Wrapping up their regular season, USC will participate in the Chemron Silverado Showdown in Napa, California, which will provide one last chance to gear up ahead of postseason play.
The Big Ten Championships are slated for April 24-26 in Glendale, California, where the Trojans will aim to showcase their skills in a highly competitive environment. If all goes well, USC hopes to qualify for the NCAA Regionals from May 11-13 and subsequently advance to the NCAA Championships, taking place in Carlsbad, California, from May 22-27.
This ambitious schedule not only promises a challenging year for USC Women’s Golf but also sets the stage for the Trojans to continue building on their legacy in collegiate golf.
