AUBURN, Ala. – No. 8 Auburn women’s golf will participate in the Moon Golf Invitational Sunday through Tuesday at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Florida. The Tigers are regulars in the annual event, as this year will mark the team’s sixth straight season in the field.
“Anne and Dan Moon, who own Moon Golf, are big supporters of our program and they love supporting college and junior golf,” said Auburn head coach Melissa Luellen. “They have created a great tournament and Courtney Trimble, who is a former Auburn player and assistant coach, is the tournament director and she is just amazing. A lot of Auburn ties to this event and it is one that we mark on our calendars every year because we really want to get the win, and we want to get it for Anne. These next two tournaments have the strongest field strengths that we will see until the national championship.”
Auburn enters the event coming off a team victory at the UCF Challenge on Jan. 27. The Tigers carded a 24-under 840 to claim their third team title of the season by four strokes over Mississippi State.
Senior Katie Cranston picked up her first collegiate victory at the event, firing a 3-under 69 in all three rounds for a career-low 54-hole score of 207 (-9). Cranston was named SEC Player of the Week for her performance.
In 2025, Auburn finished seventh in a 17-team field at the Moon Golf Invitational, and Cranston led the Tigers individually with a tie for sixth place. The year prior, Auburn finished runner-up at the tournament.
Auburn will be joined in the competitive field by 11 other teams ranked in the SCOREBOARD Top 25: No. 5 Florida, No. 6 Texas A&M, No. 7 Wake Forest, No. 9 Texas, No. 13 Duke, No. 14 Ole Miss, No. 15 UCF, No. 16 Mississippi State, No. 18 South Carolina, No. 22 Tennessee and No. 24 Florida State.
