TALLAHASSEE – Florida State Golf All-American Caroline Westrup, who won five individual championships as a Seminole, will be inducted into the WGCA Players Hall of Fame on December 9, 2024 at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas as announced by the Women's Golf Coaches Association. She is the first player from Florida State University to be inducted into the WGCA Players Hall of Fame.
Westrup earned All-American honors in each of the four years she played at Florida State. She was a Al-American First-Team selection by the WGCA in 2006 and 2007. Westrup's 73.23 career stoke average was the best in school history at the time of her graduation; she is currently ranked 10th in school history for the lowest carer stroke average.
In 37 career events, Westrup won five individual championships and earned 18 top-10 finishes. During her career she scored 42 of her 110 rounds at par or better with 12 rounds carded under 70. Westrup played in three NCAA championship finals and earned a pair of top-12 individual finishes – tied for 12th in 2007 and tied for 13th in 2006.
"To be inducted into the Women's Golf Coaches Association Player Hall of Fame is a huge honor for me," said Westrup. "College was four amazing years with my coaches and teammates. I share this award with all of them. Florida state has a huge place in my heart and I will always bleed Garnet and Gold."
Westrup became the first four-time All-American and the first four-time All-ACC honoree in program history. She was inducted into the FSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019.
Westrup was a standout student as well, earning a spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District team twice, the WGCA All-American Scholar Team three times and the All-ACC Academic team on four occasions.
Westrup is currently the head coach at the University of Missouri. She began her coaching career at UMG Academy (2018-21) and was an assistant coach at Georgia (2022). Under Westrup's guidance, three Tigers posted a stroke average under 74.00 for the first time in school history during the 2023-24 fall and spring seasons.
Westrup began her professional playing career in 2009. She competed on the LPGA, LET and Symetra Tours and won two professional events – the 2005 Ladies Finnish Masters (while still an amateur) on the LET Tour and the 2015 Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge on the Symetra Tour.
