Tarleton Women’s Golf Opens 2026 Fundraiser Entry Window

The air in Glen Rose hangs thick with the scent of cut grass and impending rain. On Friday, October 2, the fairways at Squaw Valley Golf Course will host a gathering of four-player scrambles, driven by a simple goal: to support the Tarleton State Women’s Golf program. Head coach Isabel Jimenez has set the stage for the third iteration of this fundraiser, an event that has become a staple of the local sporting calendar over the last four years.

The tournament is more than just a day on the course; it is a continuation of a recent surge in performance. As two-time defending WAC Champions, the Texans are carrying momentum into their new chapter as a full member of the United Athletic Conference. Their ambition is clear: a third straight conference title and a breakthrough in national play, building on back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances. This fundraiser fuels that drive, bridging the gap between community support and collegiate excellence.

Format and Pricing Structure

The event operates on a straightforward four-player scramble format, designed for camaraderie as much as competition. A shotgun start at 9:00 AM will send all teams to the tees simultaneously, creating a synchronized rhythm across the eighteen holes. The entry fee is set at $150 per person, totaling $600 for a full team submission. For those wishing to deepen their involvement, hole sponsorship is available for $100 per hole, offering a direct way to mark the day.

After the final putt drops, the clubhouse will open its doors for a provided lunch, allowing players and spectators to decompress. The atmosphere is intended to be relaxed and communal, a stark contrast to the high-stakes tension of a regular season match. This blend of sport and social gathering is central to the event's identity, reinforcing the bonds between the team and its supporters in the community.

Registration and Payment Details

Entries are currently being accepted, but the window is narrowing. The final day to register is September 27, a hard deadline that requires prompt action from interested parties. To secure a spot, individuals must email Isabel Jimenez directly at ijimenez@tarleton.edu. Payment for both team entries and hole sponsorships is accepted via cash or check, ensuring a simple and accessible transaction process for all participants.

According to GN sports/golf (en-US), the event is sponsored by Niccoya, adding a layer of local business support to the academic and athletic endeavors of the squad. The team’s academic standing is equally impressive, holding the highest semester team GPA across all Tarleton Sports in the Division I era. This dual focus on scholarship and sport defines the culture of the program, making the fundraiser a pivotal moment for sustaining that balance.

Upcoming Season Schedule

Following the fundraiser, the Texans will return to competitive play on September 21 and 22. The next stop is the Yellowstone Intercollegiate, hosted by Montana State in Bozeman, Montana. The two-day, three-round competition will take place at the Riverside Country Club, presenting a new challenge on the western range. This early-season test will be a crucial indicator of the team’s readiness for the spring conference campaign.
