Despite a shortened season, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association has released its All-America teams. In selecting this year’s honorees, the WGCA Awards Committee reduced its minimum round requirement from 15 to eight for Division I players.

Other criteria that goes into award selection includes head-to-head competition, comparison with common opponents, adjusted scoring average, regular-season finishes and tournament wins and strength of schedule.

Wake Forest, which finished its season with a 26-shot win at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate and ranked No. 3 in the Golfweek/Sagarins, has the biggest presence on the following list. The 2019 NCAA runner-up team landed two players on the first team, one on the second team and one on the honorable mention list. That’s a school record for most All-Americans in a single season.
