Elise Lee Earns WGCA All-American Scholar Honors
July 13, 2026 | Women's Golf
The rising junior maintained a 3.78 GPA during the women's golf team's historic 2025-26 season.
LOS ANGELES — USC women's golf rising junior Elise Lee earned a spot on the 2025-2026 WGCA All-American Scholar Team, as announced by the organization on Monday.
To win the award, players must have a 3.50 grade point average or higher, compete in at least 50% of the team's rounds through the conference championships, maintain their amateur status and remain on the team's roster upon the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
A communications major, Lee maintained a 3.78 grade point average while competing on one of the most successful teams in USC women's golf history. In her first season at USC, she had 11 top-25 finishes and seven top-10 finishes while being one of three players to compete in all 13 of the team's tournaments last season. With Lee consistently in the lineup, Trojans were the NCAA runners-up, won eight titles — including the program's first Big Ten Championship. Lee's best finish came at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional, where she placed second to help the Trojans win their NCAA-leading 16th regional title. She was a WGCA All-American honorable mention selection and a member of the All-Big Ten First Team.
Lee is expected to be one of four returners from USC's postseason lineup in 2026-27.
