Auburn University junior Anna Davis has been named to the 2026 Spring ANNIKA Award Watch List, according to an announcement from the Haskins Foundation. Davis is among 20 players selected for the list, with seven coming from the Southeastern Conference.
Davis’s performance this season builds on her recognition as a WGCA Second Team All-American for the 2024-25 academic year. She secured two individual tournament wins this season at both the Tar Heel Invitational and The Nanea Invitational.
At the Tar Heel Invitational in October, Davis completed all three rounds under par and finished with a final-round score of 67. She led all competitors with a total of 12 birdies during that event. At The Nanea Invitational, she opened with a 7-under-par round of 66, followed by scores of 70 and 73 to finish as co-champion, marking her fifth collegiate individual title.
The ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel was established in 2014 to honor the top female Division I collegiate golfer each year. The recipient is chosen through votes from players, coaches, and college golf media members. Named after Annika Sorenstam, it was created in collaboration with the Haskins Foundation as a counterpart to the Haskins Award for male golfers.
The Haskins Foundation will issue another watch list featuring 15 players following conference championships and will announce a final list of ten candidates on May 15.
