"The love and pride I have for the Red Raiders>>> this season was nothing short of incredible, and I’m beyond grateful to have experienced it with the best team. thank you @ttupom for the best memories!!" she wrote on Instagram on March 30, sharing a string of photos showing her in a cheerleading outfit.
However, she isn't attending the 2025 Masters.
“I just wanna be in Augusta????????,” she wrote with a video on TikTok. The caption on the video, which shows her wearing glasses and doing schoolwork says, "Petition to cancel school the week of the Masters."
According to Outkick, Kikumoto is a Texas Tech cheerleader who “blew up the CBS broadcast on the 16th hole on a Sunday at Augusta” two years ago. However, she “will NOT be returning to Augusta National this week,” Outkick reported.
In 2024, she posted a golfing outfit to Instagram and wrote, "Catch me at the clubhouse⛳️ #masters #themasters2024 #golf #mastersgirl #themastersgirl."
That same year, she posted a video to TikTok showing her in the golf outfit back at the Masters.
According to The New York Post, Kikumoto's viral fame after the 2023 Masters led to a "model offer, social media attention and NIL deals."
The video of Kikumoto wearing a green hat inspired admiration on social media, with one TikTok user writing, "Somehow I feel in love with someone I only saw for 15 seconds."
