DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's golf freshman Rianne Malixi has been selected to represent her home country of Philippines at the 2025 World Amateur Team Championship. The competition will take place Oct. 1-4 at the Tanah Merah Country Club in Singapore.Â
Â
The 36 women's teams will be competing for the Espirito Santo Trophy and will play 72 holes of stroke play. Teams will be comprised of 2-3 golfers and for each round the lowest two scores for each team will be counted as the score for the round. The total of the two-player team scores for the four rounds is the team's score for the Championship. The Champion is the team with the lowest total score for 72 holes.
Â
Along with Malixi on the Philippines squad will be Grace Quintanilla and Junia Gabasa.Â
Â
Malixi, who hails from Manila, Philippines, was the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class. She has earned numerous preseason accolades for the Blue Devils, including ANNIKA Award Watch List, Golfweek Second Team All-America, Golf Channel First Team All-America and Golf Channel First Team All-Freshman. Malixi won the U.S. Women's Amateur, U.S. Girl's Junior and the Australian Master of the Amateurs in 2024. Â
Â
The World Amateur Team Championships are a biennial international amateur golf competition conducted by the International Golf Federation. The women contest the Espirito Santo Trophy, while the men compete for the Eisenhower Trophy.
Â
This will mark the 31st edition of the Women's World Amateur Team Championship, which was first played in 1964 in France.
Â
With Malixi competing in the World Amateur Team Championship, she will miss Duke's next team event Sept. 29-30 at the Windy City Collegiate Classic.Â
