About The Betsy Rawls Invitational
The Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational annually features many of the top women's golf teams in the country. Until 2010, players and coaches made their plans to come to Austin each spring to compete in one of the most prestigious regular-season tournaments in the country. It is now a fall tournament and, in 2020, the 47th edition of the tournament will take place Oct. 10-11 at the University of Texas Golf Club.
It was in March of 1974 that Texas head coach Pat Weis had the foresight to establish what has not only become a tradition at UT and Austin, but a tradition that dominates collegiate golf for one weekend. This annual event originally known as the Texas Invitational has evolved into one of the strongest collegiate invitational tournaments of the year.
In 1977, the Texas Invitational was renamed to honor Betsy Rawls, a 1950 Texas graduate and one of the most prolific golfers of her day. Rawls won more than 50 tour championships between 1951 and 1975, including four U.S. Opens, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1977 and into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.
The tournament champions' list reads like a "who's who" of women's golf. Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Jody Rosenthal, Val Skinner, Michiko Hattori and Annika Sorenstam are just a few of the past winners who have made the Betsy Rawls tournament one of the marquee events in women's golf.
In 2020, Baylor won the event with an impressive 22-under-par performance.
2020 Participating Teams: Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, North Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas State, Texas Tech.
