TOURNAMENT HISTORY
UF has enjoyed it's appearances at the Cougar Classic. The Gators have won the event three times - 2013, 2014 and 2018 - and have won four individual titles highlighted by Sierra Brooks in 2018 who shot the program individual record with a 62. The last four outings at the tournament Florida has finished 3rd twice (2021, 2019), 1st (2018) and 4th (2015).
BIG 3, YEAR 2
The true freshmen trio of Inès Archer, Paula Francisco and Sophie Stevens all put together strong seasons to begin their collegiate careers.
All earned SEC Freshman Golfer of the Week honors as Archer earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team. Florida's freshman trio totaled 23 (out of 55) appearances in the lineup, including both postseason events (SEC Championship & NCAA Regionals) where the group combined for 15 rounds played with Archer posting a team-best finish of T20 at SECs. They also totaled seven top-10s and 13 top-25s finishes.
NEW FACES IN THE ORANGE & BLUE
The Gators welcomed four five new Gators in Jessica Guiser (Hartland, Wisc.), Elaine Widjaja (Semarang, Indonesia), Isa Wu (Hong Kong) and Siuue Wu (Hong Kong) along with assistant coach Ashley Sease.
A SEASON AGO
The 2023-24 season, the Gators highlighted the beginning of the season with three consecutive tournament victories to end the fall season. Florida started the stretch off with a six-shot win at the Glass City Invitational, eight-shot victory in the Tar Heel Invitational and capped off by an 11-shot win in the fall finale, The Ally.
The three wins brought it to 31 tournament wins all-time under head coach Emily Glaser; 32nd total as she was an assistant coach for a season in 2011-12. Florida last won three events in a season in 2015-16 and is the fifth occurrence under Glaser. It marks the most team titles since the 2019-20 season when the Gators last won by double-digits at the Allstate Sugar Bowl by 13.
As a team, the Gators placed top-7 in all nine regular-season tournaments with three wins, seven top-5 and six top-3 finishes. UF also ended with a 2-1 match play record with ranked victories over No. 20 Pepperdine (4-1) and No. 4 UCLA (3-2) at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge.

Florida returns to action Sept. 22-23 at the Mary Fossum Invitational at Forest Akers West in East Lansing, Mich.
