The AUM Warhawks name Haley Minor as the first head coach of their Women’s Golf Program, as announced by Director of Athletics Erik Maas on Tuesday.
“We are delighted to welcome Haley to AUM as our new women’s golf program’s first head coach,” Maas said. “Coach Minor has competed and coached at the highest level of college golf and is well-equipped to build this program from its infancy. We are excited to see her grow the program, shape a culture and tradition, and develop our future student-athletes, both on the course and in the classroom.”
Minors brings with her to AUM four years of experience as a college head coach. From 2017-2020, Minors served as the head coach at Samford University. During her time at Samford, Minors helped lead the Bulldogs to 16 top-10 finishes across two-plus seasons. Minor’s team at Samford also owned a 302.56 stroke average in 2019-20 prior to the COVID-19 shutdown in mid-March.
Before Samford, Minors served as an assistant coach at both UAB and Campbell from 2015-17. While at Campbell, Minors helped the Camels to a Big South Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in 2016.
Minor’s coaching journey began Point University in 2013-14 where she started as an assistant and then was elevated to head coach a year later.
Minor’s played her collegiate career at Auburn University (2009-2012) where she was a part of three SEC Conference Championship Teams (2009, 2011 and 2012). In 2009, Minors was also named to the All-SEC Freshman team.
Following her collegiate career at Auburn, Minors turned pro in 2012 and then competed in the 2012 Women’s US Open.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be the first head coach for the women’s golf program,” Minor said. “I want to thank Chancellor Dr. Carl Stockton, (Director of Athletics) Erik Maas and the entire athletics department staff for this opportunity. I am excited to get on campus and begin building this program. It’s time to get to work and add more Warhawks to the Warhawk family.”
The Warhawks will officially begin play in the fall of 2025.
