Megha Ganne Named 2025 MGA Women’s Player of the Year | MGA Honors

Elmsford, N.Y. (December 2, 2025) The race for the 2025 MGA Women’s Player of the Year turned into a battle of national accolades, with Megha Ganne’s victory in the U.S. Women’s Amateur propelling her to capture the year-end award.

The Stanford University standout and Holmdel, N.J., native, began the year with a tie for seventh in her fifth appearance in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, then logged a tie for 10th in the individual portion of the NCAA Division I national championship. She also participated in the prestigious Palmer Cup in 2025.

Her crowning achievement came at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore., in the U.S. Women’s Amateur. She used three consecutive wins in the middle of the championship match’s morning 18 to build a lead she’d never relinquish. Ganne took the title by a 4-and-3 margin, edging Brooke Biermann of Wildwood, Mo., to finish her impressive title run that included wins over three top-20 players in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking®.

“The MGA is a community I grew up in, and I feel really close to the area,” says the 21-year-old Ganne. “To represent [the MGA] on a national stage is really special, and it’s a cool award.”

Ganne closed the season with 1,483 points based on finishes in point-receiving events. She topped the list ahead of 2025 U.S. Girls’ Junior semifinalist Rayee Feng of Fiddler’s Elbow (1,050 pts), who also won one match in the U.S. Women’s Amateur, and Ina Kim-Schaad of Deepdale (1,022 pts), who captured her second career U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur title in 2025.
