Coach Stevens joined Georgia after six seasons at South Florida alongside head coach Erika Brennan, where he helped the Bulls rewrite their record books — producing a team scoring average of 287.30, a 17-under team round, and a 28-under tournament win at the Westbrook Invitational. USF won 11 titles and climbed from No. 154 to No. 32 nationally during his tenure, while earning consecutive NCAA Regional bids for the first time since 2002. Earlier in his career, he led Bethany College to KCAC Coach of the Year honors for both men's and women's golf and helped Kirkwood CC finish as NJCAA Division II runner-up.

Coach Collins has led Georgia Southern to 12 NCAA Championship appearances, three NCAA Finals berths, four Sun Belt Conference Championships, and 19 team tournament titles across his tenure. A four-time Sun Belt Coach of the Year, he guided the Eagles to their best NCAA Regional finish in program history — shooting an 834 at the Stanford Regional — and coached Steven Fisk to a second-place individual finish at the NCAA Championship, the best ever by an Eagle. In 2025-26, he led GS to the NCAA Regional and three stroke-play victories, with three Eagles earning All-Sun Belt honors.

Coach Smith brings a distinctive combination of collegiate coaching and military leadership to Georgia State, having served as a U.S. Army Ranger and earned multiple commendation medals before returning to golf. He previously served on the Georgia Tech men's golf staff and spent two seasons as a coaching intern at Point University, where he led the program to back-to-back Appalachian Athletic Conference Championships and its first two NAIA National Championship appearances. Earlier, he directed golf operations at Point University Golf Club, founding its junior golf program and leading fundraising tournament management. A native of Kennesaw, Georgia, he holds a business management degree from Point University.

Coach Butler has been part of back-to-back top-three finishes at the NCAA Division III Championship at Emory, including a women's national championship and three PING All-Americans — one First Team — in her two seasons on staff. Before coaching, she spent four years as an LPGA Tour caddie, including a trip to the winner's circle with Elizabeth Szokol at the 2023 Dow Great Lakes Invitational. Her coaching resume includes five seasons at Iowa State — where she helped the Cyclones to a program-best second-place Big 12 Championship finish — and stints at Old Dominion and Colorado State. She played professionally on the CN Canadian Women's Tour and competed collegiately at the University of Minnesota.

Coach Purvis has led Valdosta State men's golf for more than two decades, coaching six All-Americans — including a Jack Nicklaus Award winner — and guiding the Blazers to 12 NCAA postseason team appearances and 12 individual qualifier bids. He has developed over 30 All-Gulf South Conference honorees and 26 All-American Scholars, earning nine straight GCAA All-Academic Team Awards. He served on the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Committee, including two years as committee chair, and is a current member of the GSC Golf Committee. A Troy University graduate and former team captain, he played professionally before entering the coaching ranks.
