TALLAHASSEE – Florida State's Lottie Woad, who in 2024 won the Augusta National Women's Amateur, won the Smyth Salver Award as the low amateur at the 2024 AIG Women's Open, was named as the 2024 ACC Golfer of the Year, and who helped the Great Britain and Ireland team win the 2024 Curtis Cup, has been named as the Female Amateur of the Year by Golfweek.
Woad begins play in her third spring as a Seminole as the No. 1 ranked golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) – a spot she has held for 27 consecutive weeks. She has been ranked as the No. 1 amateur women's golfer in the world since July 31, 2024. She has held the No 1 spot for a total of 29 weeks and in all but two weeks since moving into the No. 1 spot for the first time on June 12, 2024.
Woad won the prestigious Mark H. McCormack Medal as the leading woman in the 2024 WAGR. The McCormack medal is presented annually by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and the USGA.
Woad is a two-time All-ACC selection (2023 and 2024), a two-time ACC Golfer of the Month Award Winner, and a four-time All-American honoree. She earned All-American First-Team honors as named by the Women's Golf Coaches Association in both her freshman and sophomore seasons.
Woad, a sport management major at Florida State, is ranked first in school history with a 70.56 stroke average and with four individual championships as a Seminole to her credit. She most recently won the championship of the Landfall Tradition during the fall of 2024.
Woad is also an academic standout as a student-athlete at Florida State. She has earned academic Dean's List Honors twice, was named to the FSU academic President's List as she earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average during the fall of 2023, has been named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll in both of her first two years at Florida State, and was named to the WGCA All-American Scholar team in both 2023 and 2024.
Florida State opens its spring semester schedule at the IJGA Guadalajara Invitational at the Guadalajara (Mexico) Country Club (Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2025) and plays host to the Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club (March 21-23, 2025).
