Seminoles Begin Season at Folds of Honor Collegiate

TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State women's golf team gets its 2026-27 season underway as the Seminoles travel north to take part in the fifth annual Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club in Grand Haven, Michigan.

Florida State will be one of 12 teams participating in the 54-hole tournament that will run Monday through Wednesday, playing 18 holes each day. The event will be nationally televised on the Golf Channel with live stats available at Scoreboard.

"To be able to start our season at the Folds of Honor Collegiate is very special," said head coach Amy Bond, who is entering her 17th season at the helm. "This is not just a golf tournament, but a way for us to appreciate the sacrifices others have made for us to play a game we love. The Folds of Honor provides scholarships to spouses and children of military service members and first responders. What a great way to begin a season with a tournament that means so much to others.

"I am excited to kick off the year. We return a great core group that is now a year older and gained valuable experience last year. We added a couple of great freshmen to that core so the competition has been really good early on. The goal of the fall is to see what we have and continue to get better each week. This week will be the starting point of what will be a memorable year."

The Seminoles, ranked No. 8 in the Golf Channel preseason poll and No. 21 in the Golfweek preseason poll, will be represented by Sophia Fullbrook, Haruhi Nakatani, Louise Landgraf, Alexandra Gazzoli, and Elin Pudas Remler.

The top returner for Florida State is Fullbrook. The junior earned Second Team All-America honors by both Golfweek and the WGCA last season after registering seven top 10 finishes while claiming three individual titles in three of her last five events. She posted a stroke average of 71.09 with a team-high 23 rounds at or under par. Currently ranked No. 23 in the world by WAGR, Fullbrook has earned multiple preseason accolades heading into the 2026-27 season including Second Team All-America by Golf Channel and Golfweek as well as an ANNIKA Award watch list member.

Also in the lineup are fellow juniors Gazzoli and Pudas Remler. Gazzoli competed in every event for the Seminoles last season, producing a stroke average of 73.64 while recording 12 rounds at or under. Pudas Remler was a mainstay in the last season's lineup as well, participating in 10 events with a stroke average of 73.87 with 10 rounds at or under par.

Beginning her second season with the Seminoles is Nakatani who looks to build upon a successful freshman campaign that saw her ranked as high as 70th in the nation. She competed in every event for Florida State, posting a stroke average of 72.48 with 18 rounds at or under par while registering four top 10 finishes.

All four Seminoles have experience at the Folds of Honor Collegiate. Fullbrook will be making her third appearance, having placed in the top 10 each of the last two seasons (one of only four golfers to do so). She tied for ninth last season as Florida State's top finisher. In her freshman season, she tied for sixth. Remler (15th), Gazzoli (tied for 31st), and Nakatani (tied for 31st) each competed at the American Dunes Golf Club for the first time last season.

The lone Seminole set to make her collegiate debut is Landgraf. The freshman has already had an accomplished amateur career, ranking as high as No. 42 in the world by WAGR. She has garnered preseason accolades including Honorable Mention All-America and All-Freshman Team by Golf Channel.

The Folds of Honor Collegiate raises awareness and funds for Folds of Honor and its mission to provide educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen or disabled military and first responders. Since its inception in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 73,000 scholarships totaling over $340 million in all 50 states. Among the students served, 43 percent are minorities and 57 percent female. A total of 91 percent of expenses fund our mission of providing educational scholarships to the families of our nation's heroes.

Florida State will co-host the event along with Michigan State. The field also includes Kentucky, Kansas, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Navy, North Carolina A&T, Findlay, Arizona, Duke, and Oklahoma State.
