One of the strongest fields of the early college golf season opens Monday at PGA Frisco, where six top-30 women’s programs begin the Jackson T. Stephens Cup. The field is led by reigning NCAA champion and preseason #1 Stanford, with #3 Texas, #7 Wake Forest, #8 Florida State, #10 South Carolina and #11 Oregon also competing.
Wake Forest returns as the defending Stephens Cup champion, while Stanford arrives with the strongest overall profile after winning the NCAA title last spring. Texas adds another major contender, giving the event unusual depth for an early-season tournament. The format also gives the week extra weight: the teams play 54 holes of stroke play before the competition shifts to match play on Wednesday, creating an early test that resembles the structure they will eventually face at the NCAA Championship.
