Signing day is here, even if it’s unlike anyone before it.
The Class of 2025’s early signing period began Wednesday, meaning hundreds of student-athletes from across the country signed grant-in-aid agreements with schools. Grant-in-aid agreements have replaced the national letter of intent moving forward.
However, impending roster limits in college golf have shaken up signing day and like never before, leaving some players scrambling in the 11th hour to find a home. Most of the elite players haven’t dealt with issues, but elite players make up a small majority of all college golf signees, meaning a scramble has been occurring in the lead up to signing day.
On the women’s side, Duke is making a big splash on signing day, inking two of the top three players in the class in No. 1 Rianne Malixi and No. 3 Avery McCrery. Surfer-turned-golfer Scarlett Schremmer, No. 2 in the rankings, has settled on Texas A&M to play her college golf.
Here’s a look at the rankings for players and classes in the Class of 2025 (subject to change).
