World No. 1 Kiara Romero and five current Stanford players highlight the field for the seventh Augusta National Women’s Amateur, which was announced Wednesday morning.
In total, 71 players are committed with one remaining spot available to the winner of the upcoming Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific, if not already qualified.
Romero, a junior at Oregon, tied for seventh last year following a missed cut in her debut, in 2024. Stanford’s Paula Martin Sampedro, Andrea Revuelta, Megha Ganne and Meja Ortengren represent Nos. 2-5 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, respectively. This will be Ganne’s 10th competitive event at Augusta National, as she was a four-time Drive, Chip and Putt national finalist and have previously played five ANWAs.
Two past champions, Anna Davis (2022) and Tsubasa Kajitani (2021), will compete again.
Other notables in the field include last year’s runner-up, Asterisk Talley; reigning NCAA individual champion Maria Jose Marin; defending U.S. Girls’ Junior winner Aphrodite Deng; and Philippines’ Rianne Malixi, who won both the Girls’ Junior and U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2024 but withdrew from last year’s ANWA with a back injury. Malixi is coming off her first college win as a freshman at Duke.
The field includes 48 of the top 50 players in WAGR, missing only No. 21 Shiyuan Zhou, who is expected to turn pro within the next few weeks, and No. 42 Louise Uma Landgraf, who just recently won the Portuguese Ladies to rise 24 spots.
The championship is scheduled for April 1-4, with the first two rounds being contested at nearby Champions Retreat in Evans, Georgia, before an April 3 practice round at Augusta National Golf Club, which will host the final round the next day.
