No stopping Anna Leigh Waters in 2025

It’s been an exceptional calendar year for Anna Leigh Waters on the PPA Tour.

The 18-year-old has been unstoppable since January and enters next week’s Florida Dairy Farmers Daytona Beach Open with four straight Triple Crowns in her back pocket.

Wondering just how dominant Waters has been through 18 tournaments in 2025?

The gold medal leaderboards from the PPA Masters powered by Invited through the Veolia Lakeland Open presented by Six Zero certainly tell the tale.

Let those digits sink in for a while. Remarkable stuff, right?

And with her rare blend of humility and grounded focus, you can expect more of the same.

“Every day there is a lot of hard work,” Waters told Miami Times reporter Jesse Scott in a recent interview published Wednesday. “You can’t become too complacent, because everybody’s working their butts off to try to beat you and become the No. 1 player. Even if you’re No. 1, you have to fight for that every day.”


The winningest player in PPA Tour history has been executing that philosophy flawlessly.
 
Stay tuned.

“I obviously want to be remembered as the GOAT,” Waters shared with Scott. “But also, maybe as a pioneer for the sport and a pioneer for helping young kids get into the sport.”
 
Now that’s a young woman who’s wise beyond her years.
