Women’s college golf spring-only rankings for 2021

College golf is a split-season, fall-and-spring sport. Still, teams can look drastically different when the calendar turns in the middle of the season – and that’s in a normal year.

The COVID-19 pandemic certainly complicated college golf this year. Fewer than 60 teams –with whole conferences, like the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 missing – competed in the fall season before nearly every team was back to competition in the spring. That means some teams already had a ranking, but against only a small number of teams, and some teams didn’t by the time the spring season started.

Using the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings, the chart below shows each team’s performance only in the spring season. The far right column rates strength of schedule.
