LSU's Ingrid Lindblad, Auburn's Jackson Koivun win Golfweek's 2024 Player of the Year honors

The 2023-24 college golf season is complete, which means it’s time to continue handing out postseason awards.
A pair of veteran teams took home the trophies from Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, California, where the championships were contested for a first time of a three-year deal.
However, when it comes to the Player of the Year conversation, there are two who played their way to the top, and they’ve been selected as the Golfweek 2024 Players of the Year.
Golfweek selects men’s and women’s All-America teams and honorable mention selections, as well as Players of the Year and Coaches of the Year.
Here’s a look at Golfweek‘s 2024 Players of the Year and a look at past winners.

No surprise here. Ingrid Lindblad capped her college career in spectacular fashion, finishing with four victories as a fifth-year. She won 15 times individually in her five college years at LSU, an SEC record, topping the old mark of 13 set by Stacy Lewis (2005-08). She was also named winner of the 2024 Annika Award and helped the Tigers reach match play at the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history.

The stellar freshman had a season for the ages. He’s likely to sweep all the major awards after already corralling the Haskins and Hogan (Nicklaus and Mickelson to come) and guided the Tigers to their first NCAA Championship. What more can you ask of a freshman?
