WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The 2024-25 Purdue Women's Golf schedule features a pair of home tournaments, starting the season with the Boilermaker Classic (Sept. 2-3). Entering his third season, head coach Zack Byrd put together a challenging slate that will see the Boilermakers play at incredible courses across eight states, the Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
Purdue will look to start the season off with a victory just like last year as the defending champions of the Boilermaker Classic. The 54-hole stroke play tournament will be contested on the Kampen-Cosler Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex.
The tournament is looking for volunteers for the afternoon (2-7 PM ET) of September 2. Anyone interested in filling those volunteer roles can contact assistant coach Lauren Guiao at lguiao@purdue.edu.
After the season-opening home tournament, Purdue heads north to Minnesota to compete in the prestigious Annika Intercollegiate hosted by golf legend Annika Sorenstam (Sept. 9-11). Two weeks later, the Boilermakers return to East Lansing, Michigan to defend their title at the Mary Fossum Invitational (Sept. 22-23), hosted by Michigan State. Purdue won last year's tournament by 10 strokes.
After not appearing on the schedule last year, the Windy City Collegiate Classic is back on the calendar (Sept. 30-Oct. 1). The Boilermakers played in the tournament annually from 2013-22, aside from the 2020 fall season that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rounding out the fall, Purdue leaves the country for a dose of Caribbean paradise. The Boilermakers compete in the White Sands Bahamas Invitational on Paradise Island in the Bahamas (Oct. 18-20).
Flipping the calendar to 2025, Purdue travels west to Gold Canyon, Arizona for the Match in the Desert at Superstition Mountain Country Club (Jan. 27). One week later, the Boilermakers serve as hosts of the Puerto Rico Classic at Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (Feb. 2-4). A regular on the Purdue schedule from 2003-20, Byrd brought the tournament back last season.
Purdue returns to two more tournaments that were on the schedule last season. The Boilermakers tee it up at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational in Sarasota, Florida (Feb. 16-17) before going back to the Briar's Creek Invitational on Johns Island, South Carolina (March 10-11).
Ending March and rolling into April, the Boilermakers travel to St. Augustine, Florida for the Coach Mo Classic. Serving as the final tune-up before the conference championship, Purdue welcomes teams back to West Lafayette for the Boilermaker Spring Classic. The spring tournament will take place on the other BBGC Pete Dye course, Ackerman-Allen (April 6-7).
The Big Ten Championships returns to Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre de Grace, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore (April 18-20). Last year, the Boilermakers fired an even-par 864 (292-289-283) for their lowest score in the conference tournament since 2016.
Rounding out the schedule, the Boilermakers plan to hear their names called for postseason play in one of six NCAA Regionals (May 5-7) with sights set on a return trip to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California (May 16-21).
Purdue returns a plethora of talent for the 2024-25 campaign, bringing back five golfers that competed in at least eight tournaments a season ago led by two-time All-Big Ten honoree Momo Sugiyama. Jocelyn Bruch and Natasha Kiel are back for the senior seasons after playing in all 13 events last year, while Jasmine Kahler made an immediate impact with 10 tournament appearances as a freshman. Jade Gu brings veteran experience as well after playing in eight tournaments throughout the 2023-24 season and 22 throughout her career. Byrd also brings in a freshman class that includes the best golfers in both Indiana (Samantha Brown) and Michigan (Lauren Timpf) along with four-time all-state and two-time state champion Michaela Headlee.
