Oklahoma State Names Annie Young Women's Golf Head Coach

Annie Young has been named the head coach of Oklahoma State's women's golf program, returning to the position she held from 2008 to 2011. Young, an All-American former OSU player and Big 12 Golfer of the Year, has a strong coaching background with head coaching stints at Cal State Northridge, Colorado State, and Tulsa, where she revitalized the program and earned national coach of the year honors. OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg highlighted the competitive interest in the position and expressed confidence that Young is the right leader to elevate the Cowgirl Golf program to championship levels. During her first tenure, Young led OSU to a Big 12 title, top-10 NCAA finishes, and coached the program's first individual national champion. Young emphasized the exciting time for OSU golf following recent program successes, including facility renovations and Maja Stark's U.S. Open victory, and expressed eagerness to build a championship culture while reconnecting with alumni and the community. The move follows the dismissal of former coach Greg Robertson, under whom the team had achieved notable success including Big 12 Coach of the Year honors.
