TCU to play penultimate fall event at site of 2026 Presidents Cup
FORT WORTH – The premier private golf club in the midwestern United States belongs to the Horned Frogs for two days.
No. 27 TCU is set to visit historic Medinah Country Club in the Chicago suburbs on Monday and Tuesday for the Illini Women's Invitational.
The stroke play affair is the penultimate fall tournament on the docket for the Horned Frogs.
Teams will play 36 continuous holes on Monday and return to the renowned course for a final round on Tuesday.
TCU is stepping onto the fairways just two weeks after the course hosted the 2026 Presidents Cup. Medinah Country Club has also hosted five men's golf major championships and the 2012 Ryder Cup.
The Horned Frogs are teeing it up in event for the third time. TCU last visited Medinah in 2023, finishing 14th.
The TCU lineup will be Ella Forss, Kirstin Angosta, Gracie McGovern, Camille Min-Gaultier and Claire Swathwood
The top-four in the Horned Frog quintet boast season scoring averages of 72-or-better.
Angosta leads the way with a robust 70.2 average. TCU's lone senior competing, Angosta has scored par-or-better in 14 of her last 20 rounds played.
Forss was the Frogs' top performer in their most recent outing, The Ally at Old Waverly Golf Club. She tied for seventh at one stroke under par in a tournament that was shrunk to 36 holes due to illness among the competing teams.
For McGovern, 14 of her 17 career par-or-better rounds have come in fall invitationals.
Min-Gaultier, a 2025 WGCA All-American, has 11 top-10's and 19 top-20's to her name across 27 starts as a Horned Frog.
Swathwood is making her second start as a Horned Frog. The junior tied for 12th in TCU's season debut at the Pan Pacific Super League tournament in Japan.
TCU is one of three ranked teams competing in a 15-team field. Also headed to the Windy City are No. 24 Ole Miss and No. 29 UCF along with a host of Power Conference programs, including Indiana, Missouri and Texas Tech.

Noting the Horned Frogs
- Head coach Angie-Ravaioli Larkin is in her 33rd season at the helm of TCU women's golf. A lifelong Texan, Ravaioli-Larkin is the longest-tenured head coach across all Big 12 women's sports programs.
- Ravaioli-Larkin is a fixture within the TCU community and its athletics department. She has worked with six different athletic directors and coached in five conferences.
- Ravaioli-Larkin has led TCU to 21 team titles in her TCU tenure, including five conference championships spanning three conferences. A total of 15 of her players have won individual medals.
- Ravaioli-Larkin's teams are known for an exceptional commitment in the classroom. She has mentored 47 WGCA All-American Scholars. Last season, all seven Horned Frogs received Academic All-Big 12 Team recognition, three of whom were cited as WGCA Academic All-Americans.
- There may not be a more accomplished coaching staff in college women's golf than TCU's trio of Ravaioli-Larkin, Greg Robertson and Angela Stanford. In September, TCU announced the addition of Stanford, the 2026 U.S. Solheim Cup captain, as an assistant coach. Stanford, the most accomplished player in program history, teed it up in an LPGA Tour record 98 consecutive majors from 2002-04. During the offseason, Ravaioli-Larkin brought in Robertson as the program's associate head coach. Robertson, a 13-time conference champion coach, remains one of only three head coaches in college women's golf history to reach match play in multiple seasons with two different schools.
- TCU returned five letter winners from the 2025-26 campaign, a group headlined by two-time All-Big 12 first team honoree Camille Min-Gaultier and fellow upperclassmen Kirstin Angosta, who tied for eighth at the 2026 NCAA National Championship.
- Five of the eight Horned Frogs are upperclassmen, giving Ravaioli-Larkin her oldest roster since 2022-23.
- Scanning the squad, the Horned Frogs have combined for two medals, 29 top-10's and 50 top-20's over the course of their careers.
- The Horned Frogs pride themselves on culture and continuity, and those values are reflected in the team's recent roster construction. No players have transferred out of the program for three straight seasons.
- The Horned Frogs have either qualified as a team or sent individuals to the NCAA Tournament in 24 consecutive seasons dating back to 2002.
- TCU was the fourth highest-rated Big 12 team in the Golfweek preseason rankings, behind only No. 10 Oklahoma State, No. 17 Iowa State and No. 18 Arizona State, and one of six conference affiliates featured.
- Going back in time, TCU won the 1983 NCAA D1 Women's Golf Championship. The tournament was held at the University of Georgia Golf Course and was the second NCAA-sanctioned event to determine a national champion.
- The 1983 squad was the first TCU women's sports team to win an NCAA Championship. The triumph is one of eight NCAA team championships in TCU Athletics history and one of five women's titles. Forever commemorating the achievement, the title-winning team was inducted into the TCU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023 to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of its championship.
TCU concludes the fall season with its third tournament in as many weeks, the Jim West Challenge, on Oct. 18-19 at Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos, Texas. The Horned Frogs won the tournament in 2018 and 2024. The 2024 edition also saw Angosta claim individual medalist honors.
