Purdue University fields a women's golf team in the Big Ten Conference (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 11 players, above the median of 8, with 1 head coach and 2 assistants. Team expenses were $1,194,868, well above the median of $473k — $108,624 per roster spot, top quarter of Division I women's golf programs. Under the Division I roster cap of 9 in force from 2025-26, that is 2 over — cuts or attrition are likely, though players already on the roster may stay (55 of 279 Division I programs carried more than the cap). The team's multi-year Academic Progress Rate is 1000, about the median of 1000, with 100% of players retained year to year. The school gave $4,937,179 in athletic aid across its women's teams, about $17,262 per roster spot.
