Kentucky women’s golf has signed Madeleine Conser, the nation’s No. 5 junior golfer, to an NIL and financial award agreement. The Portland, Oregon, native will join the Wildcats in fall 2027, becoming the first announced recruit in a class considered top 10 by multiple outlets.

By the Numbers
  • No. 5 junior golfer in the Class of 2027; No. 1 in Oregon.
  • No. 161 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
  • Six tournament wins in 2026.
  • Three-time Oregon Girls’ Junior Player of the Year (2024–26).
Yes, But

Conser’s signing is the first announced for Kentucky’s 2027 class; the program says more roster announcements are coming in the coming weeks.

What's Next

Conser is set to begin competing for Kentucky in fall 2027 as the Wildcats continue to build their incoming class.

Bottom Line

Kentucky is adding a highly decorated recruit whose recent wins and national standing give its 2027 class an early marquee addition.
