The University of South Florida women’s golf team announced the addition of Teodora Nikolovski to its 2027 recruiting class Nov. 12. Nikolovski has recorded three tournament victories and eight top-10 finishes over the past two years. She has competed throughout Europe against top amateur and professional players.
Nikolovski’s victories include the 2025 Grand Prix de la Bresse in France, the 2025 Grand Prix de Moliets and the 2025 Macedonian Amateur Open. She also finished third at the 2025 Open de Bonmont in Switzerland. In 2026, she placed fifth at the Internationaux de France U21 – Trophee Esmond and fourth at the Rhein-Main Junior Golf Open in Germany.
Nikolovski brings European experience
Nikolovski has competed in events across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Morocco and Slovakia. Her results include victories and top-five finishes in international competition. She is set to join the South Florida women’s golf program in 2027.
“We are thrilled to welcome Teodora to the Bulls family,” said Newell. “From the first time I watched her play, I was impressed by her poise and the completeness of her game. She has competed at a high level in Europe, and that experience will help us right away. Off the course, Teodora is thoughtful and driven, and she cares about the people around her. We can’t wait to welcome her to campus next fall!”
Newell enters third season
AJ Newell is entering her third season as South Florida women’s golf head coach. In her first season, she coached Leonor Medeiros to the American All-Conference Team. Newell also coached the Bulls to four top-10 finishes during the 2024-25 season.
FSB Take
South Florida’s 2027 recruiting class will include a golfer with three tournament victories and eight top-10 finishes over the past two years. Nikolovski’s competition across seven European countries gives the Bulls a recruit with verified experience in a wide range of international events. Her results and international background are the clearest factors behind the addition.
