Florida State All-American Lottie Woad, the 2024 ACC Player of the Year, has been named one of 10 finalists for the 2024 ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel. The 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion is set to lead the Seminoles into the 2024 NCAA Championship Finals in Carlsbad, Calif., beginning May 17. She finished in third place at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship (May 8) to lead Florida State to its school-record eighth consecutive appearance in NCAA Championship Finals.
Woad has been on the ANNIKA Award Watch list throughout the 2023-24 season, as she was named to the pre-season watch list in September, as well as to the Spring watch list for the prestigious award in March.
Woad enters the 2024 NCAA Championship finals as the Seminoles’ leader in stroke average (70.10), rounds scored at par or better (12 of 18), rounds scored at 75 or better (15 of 18), collegiate wins (one) and top 10 finishes (seven). Woad has finished in the top 10 of each of her collegiate tournaments as a sophomore including finishing in a tie for first place at the ANNIKA Invitational in September. She also finished in a tie for second place in the Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legends Golf Course and in the IJGA Collegiate Invitational, as well as in third at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship and the Schooner Fall Classic.
Woad has finished under par in each of her seven collegiate tournaments this year and is a cumulative total of 34 strokes under par since the start of the Seminoles’ fall season began in September. She is a total of 55 strokes under par for her 18 match career at Florida State.
Woad is the fourth Florida State golfer in the last six seasons to be named a finalist for the ANNIKA Award. Frida Kinhult finished as the runner-up for the award in 2019 while Beatrice Wallin (in 2021) and Charlotte Heath (in 2023) were also finalists for the award presented to the National Player of the Year.
“Being named a finalist for the ANNIKA Award is a wonderful honor for Lottie,” said Seminole Head Coach Amy Bond. “I’m really looking forward to watching Lottie continue to become the golfer she is working to become. She is an amazingly hard worker and it’s great to see where her work ethic is taking her as a golfer.”
Rose Zhang (Stanford) became the 10th ANNIKA Award winner in 2023, and the third consecutive winner from Stanford.
