Angela Stanford is done watching from the fairway. The LPGA veteran has taken a job as assistant women's golf coach at Texas Christian University - just days after the United States fell to Europe at the Solheim Cup.
It's a homecoming few saw coming, but one that makes total sense.
Stanford will reunite with Angie Ravaioli-Larkin, the very coach who guided her during her playing days at TCU from 1996 to 2000. Ravaioli-Larkin is now entering her 33rd season. That makes her the longest-tenured coach in any Big 12 sport. Quite the dynasty.
Stanford's LPGA Tour career spanned from 2001 to 2024. She won seven tournaments. The crown jewel? Her 2018 Evian Championship major title. She also holds an extraordinary record - 98 consecutive major appearances between 2002 and 2024. Nobody in LPGA history has matched it.
Six Solheim Cup appearances. Three stints as assistant captain. Stanford was part of the 2015 squad - the last American team to win on foreign soil. She also helped steer the U.S. to victory as assistant captain in 2024.
During her collegiate years, Stanford set records that still stand. Ten career wins. 135 rounds played. Four victories in her senior year alone, including the Western Athletic Conference championship.
TCU isn't just getting a coach. They're getting a living legend who knows those corridors better than anyone.
