DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's golf head coach Dan Brooks announced Wednesday the signing of a pair of top-rated recruits – Mia Hammond and Martina Navarro Navarro – who will join the Blue Devils in August of 2026. "We're all very excited to welcome Mia and Martina onto the team," said Brooks. "They're both excellent golfers, but just as importantly, they've been great team members in highly competitive events. Golf is an individual sport, but team energy is a key ingredient, and both Martina and Mia understand the team aspect of golf."
Hammond, a native of New Albany, Ohio, was the only amateur golfer to win on the Epson Tour in 2025 as she carded rounds of 66, 66 and 69 for a 12-under, 201, at the Greater Toledo Classic hosted by Stacy Lewis in Sylvania, Ohio. She is one of only seven amateurs in the history of the Epson Tour to win a professional event.
Over her career on the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), Hammond owns 11 wins, 20 top-five, 26 top-10 and 30 top-20 finishes. She had a span in 2022 where she won six tournaments in a row, while also winning three straight events in 2020. Hammond collected a solid 2025 season where she had four finishes in the top three or better. She owns 12 career rounds in the 60s on the AJGA.
A member of the United States National Development Program, Hammond placed tied for 26th in her LPGA debut at the Dana Classic in 2023 with scores of 68, 68, 70 and 72 for a 6-under, 278. She advanced to the round of 16 at the 2022 U.S. Women's Amateur. Hammond was a member of the 2024 PING Junior Solheim Cup, 2024 Wyndham Cup and was a 2024 AJGA All-America selection.
Navarro Navarro, who hails from Alicante, Spain, competed in the 2024 PING Junior Solheim Cup and the Junior Vagliano Trophy. She claimed the titles at the 2023 Puntauble Nacional Juvenil, 2024 Madrid Championship and the 2025 Spanish Championship of Federations. Navarro Navarro was also the runner-up at the 2023 R&A Girls Amateur Championship, runner-up at the 2024 European Young Masters Championship and tied for third at the 2024 Spanish International Ladies Amateur.
She has tremendous international experience seeing action in the 2024 European Girls' Amateur Team Championship with her home country of Spain and competing in the International Match Spain versus England, Spain versus England and Spain versus France, among other competitions.
Earlier this season, Navarro Navarro carded a 7-under-par round of 63 en route to winning the Golf Fenomenos, won the Swedish Invitational GolfTech Tour I, was fourth at the Campeonato Andalucia Sub 18 and was 17th at the Spanish International Ladies' Amateur Championship.
"Both players bring considerable experience playing at a high level with plenty of pressure," said Brooks. "Mia has played in several professional events and Martina has played well for her country many times. Both are passionate and willing to work hard on their games. I look forward to the contributions these two will make on and off the course."
