GOLFWEEK STAFFUniversity of Georgia women’s golf coach Todd McCorkle, 2007 SEC co-coach of the year, has resigned his position for personal reasons, the school announced Monday.
The Bulldogs are No. 3 in the
Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings and are the top seed in the Central Regional, which begins Thursday. They leave for Ann Arbor, Mich., Tuesday and
Golfweek has learned that Craig White, the Associate Athletic Director for Sports and Operations, will be accompanying the team and assistant coach Veronique Drouin.
Several Georgia players would not comment when reached by
Golfweek. McCorkle did not immediately return phone calls.
“Coaching at Georgia has been a great experience but this will allow me more flexibility in assisting my wife (Jenna Daniels) with her LPGA career,” McCorkle said in a statement released by the school.
Georgia athletic director Damon Evans said McCorkle would remain on the athletic association staff in another capacity.
“We are appreciative of Todd’s contributions to our golf program,” said Evans. “We look forward to continuing to work with him within our organization.”
McCorkle became Georgia’s head coach in June of 2000. He led the Bulldogs to their first-ever team NCAA Championship in 2001 and also led Georgia to the 2001 and 2007 SEC Championships. He was named SEC coach of the year in both 2005 and 2007.
