AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn junior Anna Davis has been named to the 2026 Spring ANNIKA Award Watch List, the Haskins Foundation announced on Monday. Davis is one of 20 players and one of seven from the SEC on the watch list for the prestigious award.
Davis’ storied collegiate career has continued this season following her WGCA Second Team All-American honor in 2024-25. This season, Davis has captured two individual victories at the Tar Heel Invitational and The Nanea Invitational.
At the Tar Heel Invitational in October, Davis stayed under par in all three rounds, finishing with a final-round 67 (-3) and leading the field with 12 total birdies. At the next event, The Nanea Invitational, Davis got off to a hot start in the first round, carding a 7-under 66. She followed with rounds of 70 (-3) and 73 (E) to finish as co-champion and claim her fifth collegiate individual title.
Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is awarded annually to the top female Division I collegiate golfer. The winner is voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to recognize the top female golfer and to complement the Haskins Award presented by Stifel, which honors the top male Division I collegiate golfer.
The Haskins Foundation will release a postseason watch list featuring 15 players following conference championships, as well as a final watch list with 10 players on May 15.
