The new format of the watch list reflects the altered landscape of college golf heading into the 2020-21 season

The first ANNIKA Award Watch list of the 2020-21 women's college golf season has been released, in format different than ever than before.

Like practically everything else, the ANNIKA Award watch list has been altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. With some colleges starting competition this fall and others waiting until the spring, the list has been divided into those two categories.

The list is packed with big names, including the top four in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com Women's Ranking: Gabriela Ruffels of USC, Emilia Migliaccio of Wake Forest, Kaitlyn Papp of Texas, and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard of South Carolina.
