Duke won their seventh NCAA women's golf title in 2019.

South Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and LSU each earned No. 1 seeds as the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Committee announced its selections of 72 teams and 24 individuals to participate in the four 2019 NCAA Women’s Regionals, May 10-12.

The return of the NCAA postseason is a welcome sight after the 2020 NCAA Championship was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twelve SEC schools earned spots into the Regional fields, the most of any conference, followed by eight from the ACC and Pac-12, and seven each from the Big Ten and Big 12.

Six teams and three individuals will advance from each of the four NCAA Women's Regional tournaments (54-hole stroke-play competitions) to the 2021 NCAA Women’s Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, May 21-26.

For the sixth time, the national championship will include a stroke-play segment to determine the individual champion (72 holes) and whittle the field down to eight schools who then compete in a head-to-head match-play bracket to determine a team champion. Twenty-two different programs have advanced to match play since the format was adopted, with Stanford and USC being the only two schools to reach match play all five times.

Before Duke beat Wake Forest in the finals of the 2019 NCAA Championship, only schools from the Pac-12 had won the team title: Stanford in 2015 beating Baylor, Washington in 2016 knocking off Stanford, Arizona State in 2017 defeating Northwestern and Arizona outlasting Alabama in 2018.
