The CGC Uncommitted Watch

*Updated 12/31

Who are the top available 2026 golfers who are not committed or who haven't announced a commitment yet? Who might be a diamond in the rough? We dig through the rankings and find athletes who stand out with their results and track them here!

Mingbo Jiang, Orlando FL: Jiang proved his worth to end 2024 with a win at the Orlando International Amateur, an event with field of collegiate players, juniors and amateurs. Jiang was consistent throughout the summer of 2024, with two AJGA open top-5 finishes and an 8th place showing at the AJGA Wyndham Invitational. He finished just outside the top-10 at the Jones Cup Junior Invitational and carded three FJT top-3 finishes in 2024. He has slid into the top-25 rankings on JGS and is one of the highest ranked uncommitted players. Unless he is waiting on an Ivy, we expect a top team to pick him up soon.

Jio Yoo, Irvine CA: Yoo is another athlete who had a hot stretch from late July to October, with 13/21 rounds in red numbers. She is a busy golfer, with many Toyota Tour Cup and AJGA events on her schedule. Yoo recorded one win and four top-3 TTC finishes in 2024, with five top-10s. On the AJGA circuit, she demonstrated consistency with one top-5 and two top-10 finishes in 2024. Look for more top finishes from Yoo in 2025.

Samantha Harris, Henderson NV: Harris only has seven ranked tournaments on JGS, but has made the most of all but one. Harris claimed the winner's trophy and the AJGA Evian Amundi Showcase in December, and won the FCG Las Vegas Championship in April. She has two AJGA top-6 finishes since July 2024, and only has one score above 74 in her ranked tournaments since July of 2024. Any team would welcome her consistency in their lineup.

Austin Le, Houston TX: While Le doesn't have a lot of flashy under-par scores on his JGS resume, he has proven to avoid big numbers, carding only one score above 74 in junior tournaments since August of 2024. A mid-major school would love that stability in their lineup, and he is currently (6/6) the only uncommitted golfer ranked in the top 26-50 in the class of 2026. Le has two AJGA runner-up finishes since July of 2024, and placed 6th at an LJT event last August.

Theodore Snyder, Gig Harbor WA: Looking at Snyder's resume, some team needs to commit this athlete soon!. Snyder has shot sixteen under-par rounds out of twenty-one in ranked junior tournaments in 2025 thus far (through 6/6). Playing mainly in the Pacific Northwest and California, Snyder has one AJGA top-5 and three AJGA top-10s in the past year. Though FCG and WJGA tournaments don't boast as strong fields, he has carded three FCG and two WJGA wins in the past year.. We'd love to see what Snyder can do in higher ranked events, which will easily boost his current JGS ranking (93)- currently not indicative of his talent level.
