Northern Ireland teenager Beth Coulter will make her debut at Augusta when she competes in the National Women’s Amateur in April.
The 19-year-old, who is ranked 50th in the amateur rankings, is in her junior year as an athlete at Arizona State University.
County Down’s Coulter helped Great Britain and Ireland to victory over the United States in the Curtis Cup in September.
Her Curtis Cup team-mates Lottie Woad, who is the reigning National Women’s Amateur champion, England’s Patience Rhodes and Scottish player Hannah Darling are also included in the 72-strong field.
The Augusta National Women’s Amateur, which was founded in 2019, takes place from 2-5 April.
Former champions of the 54-hole event include 2022 Chevron Championship winner Jennifer Kupcho and England’s Woad, who won by a stroke over Bailey Shoemaker last year.
