\nHead Coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin<\/a><\/p>\n


\n\tTCU has won 21 of its 55 all-time team titles under the leadership of Ravaioli-Larkin, including three in 2024-25.
\n\tRavaioli-Larkin is in her 32nd\u00a0season as the head coach of TCU women’s golf. A lifelong Texan, she assumed the program helm in the fall of 1994 and is the longest-tenured head coach at TCU and across all Big 12 women’s sport programs.
\n\tRavaioli-Larkin is a fixture within the TCU community and its athletics department. She has worked with six different athletic directors and coached in five conferences.
\n\tRavaioli-Larkin-led teams have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 28 of 31 seasons.
\n\tTCU has reached the NCAA National Championships nine times under Ravaioli-Larkin, most recently earning back-to-back berths in 2022 and 2023.
\n\tThe Horned Frogs have achieved postseason representation as a team or individually in 23 consecutive seasons under Ravaioli-Larkin.
\n\tTCU has won five conference championships spanning three different leagues under its longtime head coach.
\n\tLast spring, Min-Gaultier became the ninth All-American and 38th\u00a0all-conference player Ravaioli-Larkin has coached.
\n\tRavaioli-Larkin’s teams have produced the top-10 team season scoring averages in program history over the last decade, highlighted by a school record 289 in 2024-25. <\/p>\n

Team Notes<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Horned Frogs are one of 12 Big 12 programs featured in the top-50 of the latest Scoreboard rankings.
\n\tTCU returns six letter winners and four members of its starting five from 2024-25, including three players who cracked the top-100 of the final Scoreboard rankings Min-Gaultier (No. 51), Barroso S\u00e1 (No. 75) and Angosta (No. 100).
\n\tThe Horned Frogs pride themselves on culture and continuity, and those values are reflected in the team’s recent roster construction. No players have transferred in or out of the program in each of the past two seasons.
\n\tTCU’s roster has combined for three medals, 26 top-10’s and 45 top-20’s.
\n\tTCU has recorded its low round score in the final round in more than two-thirds of its events (19-of-28) dating back to the 2023-24 campaign. TCU has finished even or under par in 15 of its final rounds in that span.
\n\tTCU broke 17 team or individual program records in 2024-25, including\u00a0scoring average (289), birdies (533), par-or-better rounds (15), top-five finishes (nine), low-36 (557, -19),\u00a0low-54 (830, -34) and year-end national ranking (No. 15).
\n\tTCU averaged 44.4 birdies per tournament last season.
\n\tTCU won the 1983 NCAA D1 Women’s Golf Championship. The tournament was held at the University of Georgia Golf Course and was the second NCAA-sanctioned event to determine a national champion. The 1983 Horned Frogs squad was the first TCU women’s sports team to win an NCAA Championship. The triumph is one of eight NCAA team championships in TCU Athletics history and one of five women’s titles.
\n\tThe Horned Frogs have reached the NCAA Championships in 14 seasons: 1982, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1991, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2022 and 2023.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
