Whithaus Selected 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup U.S. Assistant Coach
3/17/2021 1:56:00 PM | Women's Golf
NORMAN, Okla. – Duke University women's golf associate head coach Jon Whithaus has been tabbed an assistant coach for the United States at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup at Rich Harvest Farms June 11-13.
The announcement came Wednesday from the Golf Coaches Association of America as Jean-Paul Hebert of Texas was also named an assistant coach for the U.S., while Mikkel Bjerch-Andresen of Baylor and Norway and Diana Cantú of Maryland and Mexico were selected assistant coaches for the International squad.
Whithaus, who boasts 21 years of coaching experience, is in his sixth season with the Blue Devil women's golf program. Since joining the Blue Devils, Duke won its seventh NCAA Championship in 2019, ACC Championships in two of four seasons and advanced to the match play portion of the NCAA Championship three times.
Prior to coaching the Blue Devil women, he was associate head coach for the Duke men's golf program from 2009-12 and the head coach of the Ohio Wesleyan men's golf program from 1997-2009.
Whithaus is the only coach in NCAA Division I to lead both a women's (2016) and men's (2011) program into the match play semifinals of the NCAA Championship. He has also coached both a women's and men's individual to an NCAA Individual Championship. A seven-time North Coast Athletic Conference and five-time Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year, Whithaus guided Ohio Wesleyan to 11 NCAA Division III Championship appearances and seven top eight finishes at the national tournament.
He was a two-time All-America Scholar at Ohio Wesleyan and earned three letters. He helped the Bishops to a string of four straight North Coast Athletic Conference titles and three straight top-three finishes in the NCAA Division III championship.
It marks the second straight year a Blue Devil coach will help guide the United States squad as Duke head coach Dan Brooks was the head coach in 2020.
