The United States Curtis Cup team is starting to come into focus.

The USGA announced Monday that Farah O’Keefe and Asterisk Talley have earned automatic selections via the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking® (WAGR®), while Anna Davis has been added as a committee selection. The trio joins World No. 1 Kiara Romero, who had already secured her place by winning the 2025 Mark H. McCormack Medal.

With four of eight spots now filled, Team USA is beginning to take shape ahead of the 44th Curtis Cup Match, set for June 12–14 at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles.

A Headliner at No. 1

Romero enters the Curtis Cup as the most accomplished amateur in the world—and arguably the most in-form player on either side.

The 20-year-old Oregon junior has continued her rise with wins at the Chevron Collegiate and the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Invitational this spring, along with a top-five finish at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Her résumé already includes LPGA Tour success, highlighted by a T-7 finish at the Portland Classic and made cuts in both the U.S. Women’s Open and CPKC Women’s Open.

Despite serving as an alternate in 2024, Romero will make her Curtis Cup debut this summer—and she’ll do so as the centerpiece of the American lineup.

O’Keefe Earns Her Spot

Farah O’Keefe, now ranked No. 4 in the world, claims the second automatic position as the next-highest-ranked American.

The Texas junior has been one of the most consistent players in college golf, already posting three wins in 2026. Her international and championship pedigree is equally strong, with a runner-up finish at the Women’s Amateur Championship and a deep run at the Women’s Western Amateur last year.

Like Romero, O’Keefe will be making her Curtis Cup debut, adding another elite collegiate presence to the U.S. side.

Talley Returns After 2024 Breakthrough

Asterisk Talley’s path to the team came with a twist—but it’s a familiar stage for the 17-year-old.

Originally outside the automatic spots, Talley moves in after 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Megha Ganne elected to turn professional. As the next-highest-ranked American (No. 9), Talley secures the position and will make her second Curtis Cup appearance.

She made headlines in 2024 at Sunningdale, where she defeated then-World No. 1 Lottie Woad in Sunday singles. Since then, her résumé has only grown stronger, with wins at the Fortinet Stanford Invitational and Girls’ Junior Invitational in 2026, along with a Girls’ Junior PGA Championship title in 2025.

Talley has become one of the most decorated juniors in the game—and one of the most experienced international competitors, having already represented the U.S. in the Curtis Cup, Junior Solheim Cup, and Junior Ryder Cup.

Davis Adds Experience to the Core

Anna Davis rounds out the group as a committee selection, bringing both experience and firepower.
