TCU sophomore begins play in southern Georgia on Wednesday
FORT WORTH – Representing TCU women's golf and France, Camille Min-Gaultier is set to debut at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, starting Wednesday in southern Georgia.
The event, which began in 2019, brings together the top 72 amateur golfers in the world and spans four days. The first two rounds are contested on Wednesday and Thursday on the Island and Bluff Nines at nearby Champions Retreat Golf Club. Following a cut, the top 30 players including ties advance to the final round on Saturday at world famous Augusta National Golf Club. The entire field will play an official practice round on Friday at Augusta National.
Min-Gaultier, from La Llonde-les-Maures, France, enters the tournament as the No. 50 ranked amateur in the world. The sophomore achieved a career-high collegiate Scoreboard individual ranking of No. 41 in March.
She will tee off in the opening round at 8:32 a.m. CT on Wednesday on hole one in group nine alongside Jasmine Koo (USC) and Marie Eline Madsen (NC State). Min-Gaultier will switch to the 10th tee box for round two and begin play at 7:35 a.m. CT.
The first two rounds will be televised on the Golf Channel from 12:30-2:30 p.m. NBC Sports will air the final round live from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Additionally, Golf Channel's "Live from the Masters" begins Friday at Augusta National and provides coverage of ANWA, the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals and the Masters Tournament.
Min-Gaultier has put together one of the best resumes in program history less than two years into her college career. She was honored as Big 12 Freshman of the Year and earned WGCA All-American honors in 2025. Min-Gaultier ranks second in program history in career scoring average (72.0) and has already tallied the fifth-most sub-70 rounds of any Horned Frog (14). She has notched a top-10 finish in 10 of her 21 collegiate starts, including six-of-nine this season.
Thus far in the 2025-26 campaign, Min-Gaultier leads TCU, tabbed No. 41 in the latest Scoreboard rankings, in scoring average (71.8), birdies (77), counters (23) and top-20's (eight). She opened the spring by placing as the individual runner up at the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club on Jan. 31, good for her fourth career vice championship. Min-Gaultier placed T17 or better in eight consecutive events from September-March.
The Augusta National Women's Amateur champion receives an invitation to four LPGA Tour major championships, including the U.S. Women's Open and AIG Women's British Open, along with USGA, R&A and PGA of America amateur championships for which she is eligible for one year. The 2026 ANWA medalist also receives an exemption into the next five Augusta National Women's Amateur championships provided she maintains amateur status.
Following the showcase event, TCU and Min-Gaultier make the drive east along Interstate 30 to compete in the Huntington Bank Collegiate on April 6-7 at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas. The tournament, hosted by SMU, is the Horned Frogs' last event before the Big 12 Championship, which runs from April 23-25 at Dallas Athletic Club.
