- 2005 – Men's Golf – Former men's golf coach, the late Rod Myers, was named the National Coach of the Year by Golfweek. Myers led the Blue Devils to the 2005 ACC title -- the program's first since 1966 – and to an eighth place finish at the NCAA Championship -- the program's best since finishing third in 1962.
- 2014 – Men's Golf – Former Duke men's golfer Kevin Streelman birdied his final seven holes to win the Travelers Championship with a 15-under score of 265. His seven consecutive birdies broke the PGA Tour record for consecutive birdies by a winner, ironically held by another Duke golfer – Mike Souchak – when he birdied the final six holes at the St. Paul Open in 1956.
- 2017 – Men's Basketball – Duke matched a program record with four selections in the 2017 NBA Draft.

- 2019 – Men's Golf – Alex Smalley and Chandler Eaton earned All-America honors for the 2018-19 season, each selected to the PING and Golfweek All-America teams. It marked the second straight season each earned All-American recognition.

- 1962 – Men's Golf – Duke hosted the NCAA Championship on its home course, Duke Golf Club, and wrapped up the event with then the program's best finish of third place. Led by Dick Dion's one-over par 143, which was good for a tie for second place, the Blue Devils finished 15 shots back of Houston and five behind Oklahoma State.
- 2013 – Men's Basketball – Kyrie Irving was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the first round by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2013 NBA Draft, while Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler were taken 21st and 33rd, respectively by the Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons. Irving, who entered the draft following his freshman season at Duke, became the third Blue Devil tabbed with the No. 1 overall selection.
