We are excited to announce that Lizzie Neale, a talented golfer from Nelson, New Zealand, has officially signed with the Northern Arizona University (NAU) Women’s Golf Team. Competing in the NCAA Division I Big Sky Conference, NAU boasts a stellar golf program, and we’re thrilled to see Lizzie bring her skills and ambition to the team.
Located in the picturesque city of Flagstaff, Arizona, Northern Arizona University offers the ideal blend of athletic excellence and academic opportunity:
NAU’s impressive golf culture and strong academic programs made it the perfect fit for Lizzie, who plans to study business while pursuing her golfing dreams.
Lizzie has already achieved impressive milestones in her young career, including being a part of the New Zealand Golf National Development Camp from 2018–2019. Her skill, dedication, and determination set her apart as one of New Zealand’s rising golf stars.
With aspirations to one day compete on the WPGA Tour, Lizzie is eager to take her game to the next level at NAU while contributing to their championship-winning program.
At Platform Sports, it has been a privilege to guide Lizzie through the recruitment process and connect her with a program that aligns with her academic and athletic aspirations. Lizzie’s hard work and dedication make her a role model for aspiring golfers looking to follow a similar path.
My goals in college are to win an NCAA conference championship and to compete in the NCAA Championship. I have seen fellow Kiwis competing, such as Julianne Alvarez, and I want to follow in their footsteps.”
Lizzie’s ambition, paired with NAU’s history of success, creates the perfect foundation for her to achieve her goals.
As Lizzie prepares to tee off in the Fall of 2022, we are excited to see her thrive at Northern Arizona University—on the course and in the classroom. With her talent, discipline, and big aspirations, we have no doubt Lizzie will make her mark in the Big Sky Conference and beyond.
The right team. The right programme. The right future.
Lizzie’s success story is proof that with hard work, the right guidance, and a clear vision, anything is possible. If you’re ready to pursue your dream of playing college sports in the U.S., Platform Sports is here to help you every step of the way.
