Team/Event Notes:

Texas Tech is set for a return to the Sam Golden Invitational, having last played there in the fall of 2023.
- The Red Raiders finished seventh out of 12 teams in 2023, with two players in the lineup that will return in 2025.
- Junior Maja Ambroziak finished T-10th as a freshman, shooting 8-under-par 208 (68-69-71) while senior Lauren Zaretsky finished 59th in her sophomore season, shooting 6-over-par 222 (72-75-75). The event was also held at Oakmont Country Club in Corinth, Texas.
Zaretsky earned her 14th career Top 20 finish and ninth career Top 10 finish, leading the Red Raiders in their season opener at the Carmel Cup last week by finishing tied for eighth place, shooting even-par 216 at Pebble Beach Golf Links over 54 holes.
Newcomers Amy Squires and Denisa Vodickova impressed in their Red Raider debuts at the Carmel Cup, both earning Top 20 finishes.
The Red Raiders return six from their 2024-25 squad and welcome three newcomers in freshmen Pia Eide (Norway) and Squires (Australia), as well as transfer Vodickova (Wake Forest).
Klara Hurtova is back for her junior season. Hurtova was Texas Tech's NCAA qualifier last year, who won a pair of events, becoming the fourth Red Raider in program history to win multiple events in a single season. She will make her debut this week after not traveling to California for the season opener.
