England Golf names 2025/26 women’s & girls’ squads

England Golf has confirmed its national women’s and girls’ squads for 2025/26 – with Charlotte Naughton and Lily Hirst named in the women’s squad.

Charlotte (Longhirst Hall) and Lily (Huddersfield) will be joined by Annabel Peaford (Walton Heath, Surrey) and Elizabeth Wilson (Norwood Park, Nottinghamshire) in the women’s squad.

Meanwhile, the girls’ squad will feature Mia Ingham (Sunningdale, Surrey), Daisy Lee (Lancaster, Lancashire) and Ria Prabhakar (West Essex, Essex) for the first time along with Lauren Crump (Hill Valley, Shropshire), Ellie Lichtenhein (The Buckinghamshire, Buckinghamshire) and Emily Peaford (Walton Heath, Surrey).

Steve Robinson will continue in his role as women’s national coach, with John Watson set for another season as girls’ national coach.

England Golf women’s performance manager Jenny Henderson said: “I know I speak for the entire national coaching team when I say we are incredibly excited to work with this talented group of players as the new coaching year begins. A new season is a new opportunity – not just to lower scores, but to raise our standards. Every swing, every coaching session, every day, we aim to get a little bit better. This group of players already have some remarkable achievements to be proud of, but we’re not just about chasing trophies – we’re chasing potential.

“The work these players put in ahead of next season will define who they are when the pressure is on. Each player brings unique strengths, and we are looking forward to supporting them with opportunities to grow, compete, and achieve something special. The commitment and energy I’ve already seen gives me great confidence in what’s ahead.

“These squads include exclusively UK-based players. An announcement confirming overseas players will follow later in the coaching year.”
