EDINA, Minn. (May 10, 2024) – The Ms. and Mr. Minnesota Golf Committee is pleased to announce the initial 2024 Watchlist of top female and male high school senior golfers under consideration for the eighth annual Ms. Minnesota Golf and Mr. Minnesota Golf Awards

The watchlist requires a minimum of six scores and is compiled using data from the MGA High School Rankings, the iWanamaker App and competitive results from head-to-head meets and major 36-hole competitions. Although not definitive, the watchlist is utilized by the committee in determining a group of eight female and male finalists based on their respective performance in the 2024 high school tournament season. From the group of finalists, two individual golfers will be chosen as Ms. Minnesota Golf and Mr. Minnesota Golf and presented with the award Sunday, June 9 at 6 p.m. at the Windsong Farm Golf Club in Independence, Minn. 

Olivia Herrick, 35, Roseville, Minn., a six-time MGA Women’s Player of the Year with 13 individual state golf championships will be this year’s keynote speaker. All finalists and their families will be invited to attend.
