NOW ON THE TEE
- Georgia Southern women's golf returns to the course for the first time in 2026, after welcoming four new student-athletes to the squad. Joining the returners this season are Lili Nelson, Annie Jin, Kathryn DeLoach, and Lucy Grattan.
- Margaux Brejo closed out her first collegiate season with Georgia Southern last year, finishing tied for seventh at Sun Belt Championships. Her even-par finish was the lowest tournament by the Fontainebleau, France, native and was one of her two top-10 finishes on the season. Brejo also collected a tied for ninth place finish in the Eagles "The Southern" tournament in the fall. Brejo added another milestone to her amateur trophy case when she was crowned the champion of The French Women's Amateur Championship defeating her opponent 7&8.
- The duo of Kathryn DeLoach and Lili Nelson both claimed state championships in the state of Georgia before heading to campus, as Nelson won the GHSA 1A State Championship, while DeLoach secured the GHSA Private School Championship. The duo shot a combined 16-under par in their respective titles before officially joining the Eagles this season on campus.
- Haven Ward is primed for her fourth season in college and her second in Statesboro after becoming the fourth student-athlete in program history to earn Newcomer of the Year honors, joining Mia Kness (2022), Haley Yerxa (2023), and LoraLie Cowart (2025). She carded back-to-back rounds under par at the Valspar Augusta Invitational, earning her a Women's Golfer of the Week nod by the Sun Belt Conference.
