Avery Weed Selected for 44th Edition Of The Curtis Cup
May 18, 2026 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE – Avery Weed will become just the second Bulldog in program history to don the Red, White and Blue in the Curtis Cup, as she earned her first career selection to the event on Monday, the USGA announced.
Â
The Curtis Cup, established in 1932, pits the top eight female Team USA amateurs, which are selected by the United States Golf Association, against the eight Team Great Britian and Ireland members, selected by The R&A.
Â
Weed, a rising senior from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, becomes the first Bulldog to represent Mississippi State in the event since then Ally McDonald, now Ally Ewing, did such in the 2014 edition of the match, helping guide Team USA to a 13-7 victory. Â
Â
This past season, Weed earned First Team All-SEC honors and collected seven top 10 finishes, six of which were top five. She earned her third collegiate victory in the fall at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational. Weed was 37-under in relation to par across the entirety of the 2025-26 season and shot a team-leading 22 par or better rounds, 11 of which came in the 60s.
Â
The selection to the Curtis Cup marks the second event this summer that Weed will represent the United States, as she was one of 12 female amateurs to be selected for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Cup earlier this month.
Â
The Curtis Cup is held once every two years and will take place this year from July 12-14 at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, California. The event features two days of morning foursomes and afternoon four-balls, followed by eight single matches in the final day of action, similar to the Ryder and Solheim Cups. Tickets for the 44th Curtis Cup are available here. Coverage of the 44th Curtis Cup will be available via Golf Channel.
