The Gophers women's golf program announced its 2026-27 schedule, a 12-tournament slate that runs from early September through the Big Ten Championship next spring.
Minnesota hosts the ANNIKA Invitational presented by 3M to open the fall campaign, teeing off Sept. 7-9 at Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo, Minn. It's the only home date on the entire schedule, so it's the one chance all year for Gophers fans to watch the team without a road trip.
From there it's all travel. The Gophers head to Greenville, S.C., for the Lady Paladin Invitational hosted by Furman Sept. 18-20, then to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Blessings Collegiate Invitational Oct. 3-5. The fall portion wraps up at the Illini Women's Invitational at Medinah Country Club, with Illinois serving as host.
The spring slate opens with a trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for the Dominican Republic Classic hosted by Purdue, Jan. 31-Feb. 2. Three weeks later, Minnesota heads to Peoria, Ariz., for the Westbrook Invitational, organized by Big Ten rival Wisconsin, Feb. 21-22.
March brings a stretch out west and south: the Valspar Invitational at Forest Hills Golf Course in Augusta, Ga., presented by Augusta University, March 13-14, followed by the Bell Bank "Pay it Forward" Collegiate at Wigwam Golf Club in Litchfield Park, Ariz., co-hosted by Minnesota and St. Thomas, March 22-23.
The season closes at the Big Ten Championship, set for Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, Ariz., April 24-26 — the postseason target for a Gophers squad that will spend nearly the entire year on the road before it gets there.
