FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) \u2014 U.S. Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford has taken a position as an assistant women\u2019s golf coach at her alma mater, TCU, following the Americans\u2019 loss to Europe in the biennial team competition.<\/p>\n
TCU said Monday that Stanford would be an assistant to Angie Ravaioli-Larkin, who was her head coach when she was a standout player for the Horned Frogs from 1996-2000. Stanford played on the LPGA Tour from 2001-24, winning seven times, including a major title at the 2018 Evian Championship when she was 40.<\/p>\n
The Big 12 Conference school\u2019s announcement came a day after Europe reclaimed the Solheim Cup with a 15-13 win in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs one of the most decorated and respected figures in golf history, her transition from a legendary professional career to our coaching staff is a monumental moment for our program,\u201d said Ravaioli-Larkin, who\u2019s going into her 33rd season and is the longest-tenured head coach in any Big 12 sport. \u201cAngela\u2019s elite competitive experience as a major champion, combined with her leadership as a U.S. Solheim Cup captain, will provide our student-athletes with unparalleled mentorship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stanford, 48, appeared in 98 consecutive majors from 2002-24, the longest streak in LPGA history. She played six times in the Solheim Cup and was part of the last American team that won away from home, in 2015 in Germany when Juli Inkster was the captain. Stanford was also an assistant captain three times, including when the U.S. won in Virginia in 2024.<\/p>\n
Her 10 career wins at TCU and 135 rounds played are still school records. Her four wins as a senior in 1999-00 included the Western Athletic Conference championship.<\/p>\n
