Co-Director
Chris Zambri
Chris Zambri, a former USC All-Pac-10 performer and longtime Nationwide Tour veteran, is in his fifth year as USC's men's golf head coach. In a short amount of time, Zambri has established himself as among the top coaches in the nation and has taken his team to the NCAA Championships final in each of his first four years.
Zambri's teams have won 11 events, including Pac-10 titles in 2007 and 2011 and an NCAA Regional in 2008. His 2008 team came within three strokes of first place at the NCAA Championships. Trojan golfers have also won 11 individual crowns under Zambri.
Zambri, 39, played six years on the Nationwide Tour and was an active teaching professional when he was not competing. A 1993 USC graduate who played for the Trojans from 1989 to 1993, Zambri played six seasons on the Nationwide Tour between 1997 and 2004. He finished as high as 19th on the circuit's money list in 1998, posting two second-place finishes that year. He competed in four PGA Tour events as well as the 1995 and 1999 U.S. Opens. As a Trojan, he was a two-time All-Pac-10 second team selection in 1991 and 1993.

Josh Brewer
Josh Brewer, who owns more than a decade of collegiate golf experience as a successful player, instructor and recruiter, is in his third year as a USC men's and women's golf assistant coach. Brewer came to USC after spending the previous six seasons (2003-08) as an assistant men's golf coach at his alma mater, Indiana.
In his short time at USC, Brewer has helped guide five women's and three men's All-Americans (and a men's freshman All-American) as well as two women's and one men's Pac-10 Players of the Year and a men's and women's Pac-10 Freshman of the Year.
Brewer played four years at Indiana (1995-98), helping the Hoosiers reach the 1996 NCAA Finals, the 1997 NCAA Regionals and the 1998 Big Ten Championship crown. He was a two-time All-American Scholar Team selection (1997-98) and a three-year Academic All-Big-Ten honoree (1996-98).
Directors Zambri and Brewer will be assisted by other teaching professionals and current USC varsity players.
The USC Trojan Golf Camp provides young golfers with the tools to enjoy this great game for a lifetime. Our curriculum is the perfect blend of expert instruction, course play and fun off-course activities. With the experience and passion of coaches Zambri and Brewer and their staff, each Nike camper can leave at the end of the week feeling more confident about their game.
