Meghan Stasi, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has been chosen by the USGA to lead the 2026 USA Curtis Cup Team at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, Calif. The four-time U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champion was a member of the victorious 2008 USA Curtis Cup Team at St Andrews in Scotland, where she got engaged to husband Danny on the Swilcan Bridge a day after the competition. She was also captain of the 2024 USA Curtis Cup Team.
"I'm incredibly honored to once again captain the USA Curtis Cup Team in 2026. The opportunity to lead and support these talented young women on such a historic stage continues to be truly special,” said Stasi. “The Curtis Cup has been a meaningful part of my journey in golf, and I can’t wait to build on the incredible experience we had in 2024. I’m looking forward to embracing the challenge and representing the USA with pride."
Stasi’s four U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur titles are tied for the most in the championship’s 35-year history with Ellen Port, who captained the victorious 2014 USA Curtis Cup Team. She won back-to-back titles in 2006 at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss., and 2007 at Desert Forest Golf Club in Carefree, Ariz., before winning again in 2010 at Wichita (Kan.) Country Club and 2012 at Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio, Texas. In 2021, Stasi became the youngest individual ever inducted into the Florida State Golf Association (FSGA) Hall of Fame. To date, she has won 17 FSGA titles, including two Florida Women’s Amateurs and five Florida Women’s Mid-Amateurs. Stasi is an eight-time FSGA Player of the Year.
“Meghan’s previous Curtis Cup experience and guidance will prove valuable heading into 2026,” said John Bodenhamer, the USGA's chief championships officer. “Our players experienced life lessons from a true role model and competitor, and we are excited to have her lead the team again at Bel-Air.”
The GB&I Team won the 2024 Curtis Cup Match at Sunningdale Golf Club, in England, for the first time since 2016. The USA leads the overall series, 31-9-3. The Curtis Cup features eight amateur female golfers from the USA against a similar group from Great Britain & Ireland.
