Greg Allen enters his 15th season as Head Women's Golf Coach for Vanderbilt University.

For Greg Allen, who is considered one of the outstanding collegiate golf coaches in the NCAA, the 2020-21 season is his 15th at the helm of the Vanderbilt women’s golf program.

Allen has made a big impact at Vanderbilt, leading the Commodores to 12 postseason appearances. Allen’s Commodores have been to 12 NCAA Regional Championships and advanced to five consecutive NCAA Championships from 2010-2014 for the first time in program history.

Following the 2018-19 campaign, Allen recognized as Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, the first such recognition in his career, after guiding the Commodores to a program-record six victories.

The most recent tournament win came at the 2019 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships in early May, propelling Allen’s nationally-ranked Vanderbilt squad into the NCAA Championships. One of his top pupils, freshman standout Auston Kim, also swept the 2019 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships individual title.

Allen has guided the Commodores to 14 tournament titles in his tenure on West End, including a pair of NCAA regional crowns.

Allen’s seventh Vanderbilt team in 2013-14 ranks with the 2018-19 among his most successful to date, winning four tournaments, including the 2014 SEC Championship and the NCAA East Regional, the Commodores’ first victories at the events since 2004. Simin Feng also won medalist honors at the SEC Championship and the Central District Invitational, while Jennifer Hahn won the NCAA East Regional individual title. Additionally, three different Vanderbilt golfers finished in the top five in 2013-14.

During his tenure at Vanderbilt, Allen’s teams advanced to five consecutive NCAA Championships (2010-14). He has coached two-time SEC Player of the Year recipient Marina Alex, SEC Freshman of the Year Simin Feng, two first-team All-Americans in Alex and Lauren Stratton and NCAA regional champions in Kim and Hahn.

Annually, Allen’s Commodores are among the SEC’s leaders in academic achievement. In 2017, he mentored the program’s SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year in Kate Sborov.

Allen has guided three teams to conference championships — the 2001 and 2002 Pac-10 titles at Arizona and the 2014 SEC crown at Vanderbilt.
