BRENNAN WEBB | HEAD COACH

Coming off of four straight successful seasons to open his tenure at the helm of the Tennessee men's golf program, Brennan Webb is entering his fifth season as the head men's golf coach at Tennessee. In four completed seasons, Webb has led the Vols to five team tournament titles and UT’s first NCAA Championships berth since 2013.

Tennessee competed in seven tournaments in 2019-20—five in the fall and two in the spring—before the remainder of the season was suspended, coming out on top in the Intercollegiate at the Grove and the Lamkin Grips San Diego Classic. The pair of team wins were Tennessee’s fourth and fifth tournament titles under the direction of Webb.

The Intercollegiate at the Grove saw each member of Tennessee’s five-man lineup place inside the top 15, while four other Vols that competed as individuals finished inside the top 25. In total, three of the top four spots on the leaderboard were occupied by Vols. Redshirt junior Tyler Johnson claimed the tournament’s individual title with a new 36-hole tournament record score of 138 (-6), while Wolcott (-4) and Cross (-2) finished second and fourth, respectively.

Tennessee placed three golfers inside the top 25, including senior Rhys Nevin, who finished tied for fifth place and Lewis, who tied for 14th place. The Vols won the event by four strokes, edging out top-five teams Arizona State and Texas A&M.
