Pudas Remler Leads Florida State Into Florida State Match Up

TALLAHASSEE – The gallery following sophomore Elin Pudas Remler will grow by two very special people at this weekend’s Florida State Match Up. It will include her parents who have traveled more than 4,000 miles to watch their daughter lead the Seminoles into the Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club.

For the first time in her collegiate career, Pudas Remler will have the opportunity play with her parents, Malin Remler and Fredrik Pudas, walking each hole of the Seminole Legacy alongside the second-year Seminole.

Pudas Remler and her teammates have an exciting opportunity to defend their team championship at the Florida State Match Up in their home tournament beginning Friday (March 20) and running through Sunday (March 22). Admission and parking are free and spectators are welcome to walk the course in the bright sunshine throughout the three days and 54 holes of competitive golf.  The tee times begin at 8:45 on Friday and Saturday and at 8:30 on Sunday.

No. 18 Florida State is joined by No. 28 Eastern Michigan, No. 35 Virginia, No. 53 Illinois, No. 54 Tulsa, No. 55 Alabama, Mercer, Murray State, North Florida, Florida International, Sam Houston State, and Troy in the 13^th Annual Florida State Match Up.

The Seminoles won the event in 2025, in two of the last three seasons, and a record five times since the inaugural event in 2013. Mirabel Ting, the Seminoles’ All-America and ANNIKA Award winner, won the individual championship in 2025. Ting is one of a record six Seminoles (Matilda Castren in 2014, Morgane Metraux in 2016, Beatrice Wallin in 2021, Amelia Williamson in 2002, Lottie Woad in 2023, and Ting in 2025) who have won the individual championship in Florida State’s signature event.

Florida State’s lineup consists of Pudas Remler along with sophomores Sophia Fullbrook, Alexandra Gazzoli, Freya Russell, and freshman Haruhi Nakatani. A trio of Seminoles which includes freshman Haley Davis, sophomore Layla Pedrique, and senior Madison Hewlett will play as individual golfers in the field of 67 players.

Pudas Remler hopes to add her name to the list of individual champions by the end of the weekend.
