Tournament History
The Florida women's golf program has a long history of competing at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge. The Gators have traveled to Palos Verdes, Calif., every year since Emily Glaser was named head coach, with their highest finish under Glaser coming in 2016 when the team placed third.
Successful Fall
With eight returning players and the addition of freshman Marina Escobar, Florida proved why it was among one of the top teams in the nation during the fall.
The Gators played consistently and effectively throughout their four events, finishing within the top five each outing. The highlight of the fall season came in September, when UF captured the team title at the Glass City Invitational by four strokes.
Addie Baggarly played solid for Florida throughout the fall, ending with a 72.08 scoring average while tallying three top-25 individual finishes, including tying for fourth at the Cougar Classic. Elin Esborn was also a steady hand for the Gators in the fall, placing within the top 25 individually in all four events.
Welcome to the Squad, Annabell
Highly touted 2020 signee, Annabell Fuller, enrolled early at the University of Florida, joining the women's golf team for the 2020 spring season.
"We are thrilled to welcome Annabell to the team this spring," said Glaser. "She was ready for this opportunity, the timing was right and we are so happy to have her."
