Women's Golf To Begin Season At Carmel Cup

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – The Mississippi State women's golf squad begin their 2025-26 campaign at the Carmel Cup for the fourth consecutive season in historic Pebble Beach, California.

The Bulldogs enter the season coming off their fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, extending the longest streak in program history. State will compete with four other 2025 NCAA Tournament teams during the Carmel Cup: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. Texas A&M, TCU and Texas Tech will round out the eight team tournament.

Three familiar faces will take the course for the Bulldogs at the Carmel Cup – senior Izzy Pellot, junior Avery Weed and junior Samantha Whateley. Pellot enters her fourth Carmel Cup, while Whateley and Weed will be teeing off at Pebble Beach for the third time. Weed will shoot in the one spot, Pellot in the three and Whateley in the four.

Three freshman Bulldogs will make their debuts in the Maroon and White beginning on Friday. Lynn van der Sluijs from the Netherlands will shoot in the second spot for State. Harper Hinckley, a Summit, Mississippi native, will hold the fifth spot for the Bulldogs. Sweden native Moa Stridh will wrap out the lineup in the opening event of the season.

The Carmel Cup is set to kick off on Friday, August 29 and conclude on Sunday, August 31. The Bulldogs will begin at 8:30 a.m. CT. Live scoring for the tournament is available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
