DURHAM, N.C. – After 16 years as the Duke men's golf head coach,
Jamie Green will step down in order to pursue other opportunities.
"I want to thank
Nina King for her leadership and
Kevin White for trusting me as his first head coaching hire and giving me the opportunity to lead the Duke men's golf program," said Green. "Duke has been a dream school at which to work, especially because of the people. I owe a lifetime of gratitude to our players, their parents and the staff members that supported our fantastic student-athletes."
"The reason why I coach is to hear a student-athlete say, 'Thanks Coach, that helped.' I look forward to the next chapter in my life where I can continue to help people."
Green, who was named head coach of the Blue Devils' program in January of 2009, guided Duke to 15 NCAA Regional appearances and eight NCAA Championship berths, including two match-play semifinal appearances. He was named ACC Coach of the Year in 2013, and mentored six All-America selections, 13 All-ACC picks and 67 All-ACC Academic Team honorees. The program record book was rewritten during his tenure, including the entire top-10 for team stroke average and the top-five for individual stroke average.
"We thank Coach Green for his dedication and leadership of the men's golf program," said Duke Vice President and King-Compton Families Director of AthleticsÂ
Nina King. "We wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Duke secured 33 team titles during Green's tenure, the most by a Duke head coach in program history. The Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament title in 2013 and 2017, and advanced to the match play portion of the event in 2023 in one of the first years that the conference went to a dual-portion format.
During the 2024-25 season, Duke swept the prestigious Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate after securing the team and individual titles, earned a berth in the NCAA Reno Regional and was represented at the NCAA Championships by
Bryan Kim, who competed as an individual following his finish as the low individual on a non-advancing team in the regional. Green also served his second term on the NCAA Division-I Men's Golf Committee as the first ACC member appointed to the committee in the last 30 years.
King has announced that Duke will begin a national search for the program's next head coach immediately.
