Auburn Head Men’s Golf Coach Nick Clinard has been named the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year after helping lead his team to a national title.

“It is an honor to now be in this select club,” Clinard said. “All of the credit goes to the players over the past 15 years that have helped build our program to what it is today. This award represents the long nights, long practices, early morning workouts and a group of young men that share a vision and a dream. I’m extremely grateful to be selected for this prestigious award.”

In addition to being named the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year, Clinard was also named the Southeast Region Coach of the Year for the second time in his tenure and first time since 2018.

During the 2023-24 season, Clinard’s team set a new record for the program recording ten tournament wins, which was double the amount of wins under the previous record. The Tigers recorded seven straight wins to finish out the season including the SEC Championship, a regional championship and the NCAA Championship. The Tigers are the first SEC team to capture all three major postseason event titles since 2014.

Clinard was also voted as the 2024 SEC Coach of the Year.
