Preview: Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Invitational

FORT WORTH – The best amateur golfers in the world will soon converge on Fort Worth, as TCU is set to host the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational from Monday-Tuesday at Colonial Country Club.

In addition to being the Horned Frogs home tournament, the event affords TCU an opportunity to see how it measure's up against the nation's elite. Dubbed "The Masters of college women's golf" by TCU head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin, the event has quickly morphed into the most competitive regular season championship in the sport.

Six of the nation's top-10 ranked teams are in the field, including No. 1 Stanford, No. 3 Texas A&M, No. 5 Texas and No. 6 Auburn. The tournament also features world amateur No. 1 Kiara Romero of Oregon and the top-ranked collegian in Texas' Farah O'Keefe. They are two of 17 top-50 players competing, a group that includes TCU's Camille Min-Gaultier, No. 41 in the latest Scoreboard individual rankings.

Stanford won the 2025 Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational at even-par (840) while Oregon finished as the runner-up and two strokes back of the Cardinal. Auburn's Anna Davis shot a nine-under 201 to claim the individual medal. TCU tied for sixth out of 12 teams.

Min-Gaultier is playing the No. 1 in TCU's lineup for the fourth straight event and sixth time in the 2025-26 campaign. Kirstin Angosta, Gracie McGovern, Sofie Dimitrova and Sofia Barroso Sá round out the Frogs' five-player contingent. Yvette O'Brien will compete as an individual.

The 54-hole event is free and open to the public. Teams will play two rounds of golf on Monday, followed by a final 18 holes on Tuesday.

Round one commences with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start on Monday. Teams will tee off on holes 1 and 10 beginning at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday.

The Course – Colonial Country Club
Colonial Country Club was founded in 1936 by Marvin Leonard, a self-taught golfer whose interests lie far beyond the fairway. Leonard studied every aspect of the sport, including course architecture — right down to the blades of grass and grains of sand used.

Colonial has since set a record in championship golf as the only club to host a Men's U.S. Open (1941), a Women's U.S. Open (1991), and THE PLAYERS Championship (1975). Alongside these prestigious tournaments, Colonial has hosted the longest-running tournament on the PGA Tour. Every May since 1946, the world's greatest golfers travel to Fort Worth to compete in the Colonial National Invitational, known today as the Charles Schwab Challenge.

The course was the site of the men's Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational for the fifth time in the last six seasons in October.

In 2021 the Colonial membership approved a Golf Course Renovation Master Plan. The course renovation was led by world renowned golf course architect, Gil Hanse. This renovation began in June 2023 and included all new grass, irrigation, drainage, hydronics green cooling system, as well as the proposed Hanse architectural improvements.

Today, Colonial Country Club holds the distinction of being the only golf course in the United States that sponsors a PGA Tour event and both a men's and women's collegiate championship.
