STANFORD, Calif. — Top-ranked Stanford women’s golf added to its already talented roster on National Signing Day, bringing in two to the Cardinal family. Stanford officially welcomed Jude Lee and Nikki Oh on Wednesday, dipping into the Southern California golf world to bring in two of the most highly decorated recruits in the country.
"It is exciting for us to welcome two of Southern California’s best players in Nikki Oh and Jude Lee," Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf, Anne Walker, mentioned. "Both members of the U.S. National Team, they will arrive on The Farm with a wealth of experience and knowledge that will help our team succeed. Their golf games are world-class, but their character and team spirit are what set them apart from their peers. Stanford is gaining two terrific people, as well as two incredible golfers, at the same time."
Cardinal fans can read up on the newest members of Stanford women’s golf below:
JUDE LEE – Walnut, Calif.
A native of Walnut, Jude Lee will head to the Bay Area as the No. 6 Class of 2026 prospect in the country by Junior Golf Scoreboard. Lee spent three seasons on the varsity team at Orange Lutheran High School, all three of which ended in First Team Trinity League honors. She earned a host of awards during her career, including the 2024 Orange County Register Player of the Year award, and was named to the SCPGA All-Southern California Girls Team in 2024.
Her national accolades are even more impressive. Most recently, she was named a Rolex Scholastic Junior All-American earlier this year and in 2024, was named a First Team Rolex Junior All-American. Her play has landed her on the U.S. National Junior Team and as a participant in the PING Junior Solheim Cup, Wyndham Cup, and U.S. Women’s Open.
A standout in the classroom as well as on the golf course, Lee is a four-year member of the Orange Lutheran Academic Honor Roll and was awarded the AP Scholar with Distinction award in 2025.
Lee chose Stanford because “it offers a competitive, iron-sharpening-iron environment in which great, like-minded people can thrive and push each other to be the best they can be. In golf and academics, Stanford has the best programs. I know The Farm is the best place to be.”
NIKKI OH – Torrance, Calif.
Nikki Oh signed with Stanford on Wednesday out of Torrance, giving Stanford the top-ranked prospect in the country from the Class of 2026 by Junior Golf Scoreboard (No. 9 overall). Regarded as one of the top amateurs in the world, Oh is a three-time Rolex Junior All-America selection who has represented the United States on the U.S National Junior Team each of the last two years.
Oh competed with some of her newest teammates at the 2025 Augusta National Women’s Amateur, one of many notable tournaments she has played. She also competed at the Toyota Junior World Cup and earned top-five finishes twice, while joining Lee on Team USA at the PING Junior Solheim Cup. In 2023, Oh reached the Round of 16 at the U.S Women’s Amateur after finishing eighth in stroke play, becoming the youngest in that year’s field to reach the Round of 16.
Oh has been around golf her entire life – her father Ted played at UNLV, while her aunt, Julie Lim, played at UCLA. Ted qualified for the U.S. Open at the age of 16 in 1993, becoming the youngest player in 50 years to do so.
The decision to attend Stanford was an easy one for Oh, saying, “Stanford embodies excellence in every way, from having the nation’s top golf program to providing an unparalleled academic environment that challenges and inspires me to grow.”
