Coach Christie Cates has built a strong schedule that will prepare her Bulldogs for a season-long run toward the 2026 BIG EAST Women's Golf Championship, scheduled for April.
 
A number of events return to the Bulldogs' schedule, including the season-opening Redbird Fall Invitational hosted by Illinois State. That event is set to begin Sunday, Sept. 7.
 
The team will also host the Butler Fall Invitational Sept. 29-30 on the Bulldogs' home Highland Golf Course.
 
Repeat appearances on the Butler schedule from a year ago include the Redbird Invitational, the Dayton Flyer Invitational (Oct. 13-14), the Rio Verde Invitational (Feb. 20-22), and the Boilermaker Spring Classic (April 12-13).
 
Butler will participate in both the Rio Verde Invitational and the Lake Oconee Invitational Feb. 20-22, sending separate groups to each tournament.
 
The season culminates in Callawassie Island, S.C. for the 2026 BIG EAST Championship. The 54-hole event will be played April 25-27.
 
The 2025-26 roster for Cates includes four of the five Bulldogs who represented Butler at the 2025 BIG EAST Championship: Kelli Scheck, Cybil Stillson, Sophie McGinnis, and Treva Dodd.
