Coach Lineup

Players will have guaranteed engagement with every coach

James Vargas | Men’s Assistant Coach | Arizona

James Vargas joined the program after taking his first coaching job with the Mean Green in July 2019. The former University of Florida standout was a three-time All-American for the Gators and had a lengthy professional career, spending the majority of his time as a pro on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica circuit, where he competed from 2014-2017 and had two third-place finishes along with seven top-10 showings. He also played in three PGA Tour events and in eight events on the Web.com Tour, which is now known as the Korn Ferry Tour.
 
Vargas played under UNT head coach Brad Stracke’s guidance as a senior in college when Stracke was an assistant coach for the Gators for three seasons. In their one year together, Vargas was a third-team All-American and finished tied for 27th at the NCAA Championship.
 
Vargas was also a contestant on the Golf Channel reality show “Big Break,” when he appeared on the show’s 10th season in 2008.

Patrick Murphy | Men’s Assistant Coach | UCLA

Murphy (2015-2019) appeared in 35 tournaments during his four years at UCLA, producing four Top 10s, 10 Top 20s and 16 under-par rounds. His best season was his senior campaign when he recorded a 71.6 scoring average, finishing under par in four of his nine events and earning starts at the Pac-12 Championship and NCAA Regional. As an amateur player, Murphy was the champion at the 2015 Alberta Match Play and also reached match play at the 2018 U.S. Amateur.

Chris Massoletti | Men’s Assistant Coach | California

Chris Massoletti joined Cal in August of 2019 after spending the previous three seasons (2016-19) as an assistant coach with the New Mexico men’s golf program. Massoletti also spent three campaigns as the head coach for both the men’s and women’s golf teams at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio (2014-17) following two seasons as a volunteer assistant for the men’s golf program at St. Edward’s in Austin (2012-14).

In an abbreviated 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Massoletti helped navigate the team through six tournaments which included three top-10 team finishes and a pair of individuals who finished in the top-10 at separate events. The Bears closed out the season hosting the 2021 Pac-12 Championship at Mayacama in Santa Rosa where they finished seventh. Cal bolstered its roster with the addition of four new players in the offseason.
