  • Top-seeded Stanford women’s golf looks to return to the top of the college golf world at the 2026 NCAA Championship, hosted by the University of Texas, from May 22-27.
  • The NCAA Championship takes place at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., for the third consecutive year. It plays at 6,330 yards and is a par-72.
  • All participating teams will compete in 54 holes of stroke play before the field narrows down to 15 teams for an additional 18 holes of stroke play on Monday, May 25. The top eight teams will then compete in match play to determine a national champion.
  • Golf Channel will provide live coverage during the final round of stroke play and all three rounds of match play. Babygrande Golf will stream the first three rounds of stroke play.
  • The Cardinal has advanced to the NCAA Championship every year since 2010 and is the only program in the country to advance to the match play portion every year since it was instituted ten years ago.
  • Of the top 15 teams in the most recent Scoreboard rankings, three missed advancing to the NCAA Championship: No. 9 Oregon, No. 13 Vanderbilt, and No. 14 UCLA.
  • No team has won multiple NCAA titles since it switched to a match play format other than Stanford (2015, 2022, 2024). No team has won more than three national championships in NCAA women’s golf since 2008.
  • The last team to create a dynasty in women’s golf (three titles in five years) was Duke when the Blue Devils won three straight from 2005-07.
  • 2026 is the fourth consecutive season that Stanford has entered the NCAA Championship as the top overall seed.
  • Stanford won the NCAA Stanford Regional in record-setting fashion, claiming its eighth regional win since 2016, the most in the country.

  • Andrea Revuelta won the NCAA Stanford Regional by two strokes over teammate Paula Martín Sampedro for her second win of the season and fourth of her collegiate career.
    • She joins Rachel Heck as the only Cardinal golfers to win multiple NCAA Regionals.
  • After finishing second in the Jackson T. Stephens Cup to begin the 2025-26 season, Stanford has not lost a stroke-play tournament since claiming seven team wins and six individual wins.
  • All five golfers in Stanford’s lineup have scoring averages that would currently rank in the top-15 all-time in NCAA history (70.33 or better).
  • The Stanford lineup for the NCAA Championship is as follows: Andrea Revuelta, Paula Martín Sampedro, Meja Örtengren, Kelly Xu, and Megha Ganne. Anna Song is the alternate.
