Peter Pougnet

Peter Pougnet was announced as the Head Golf Coach at Regis University in August of 2022.

Pougnet comes to Denver after a successful eight-year stint as the Head Men's Golf Coach at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois; the 2020-21 and 2021-22 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) champions at the NAIA level.

A relentless recruiter, Pougnet hit the ground running at Roosevelt in 2014 when he was promoted to Head Coach from his Graduate Assistant position. The Lakers have increased their winning percentage by 78% the past six seasons under Pougnet while climbing 173 spots in the Golfstat rankings, soaring from 203 overall in 2014 up to No. 30 in the country by the end of the 2021-22 season.

Eight Lakers golfers would earn All-Conference selections, including both the CCAC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards for the 2020-21 season.

Student-athletes have also shined away from the golf course under Pougnet's tutelage as the Lakers have boasted a team GPA of 3.51 the last eight semesters.

In addition to his coaching duties, Pougnet served as the Coordinator of Compliance and Eligibility for Roosevelt's 16 athletic teams and 600 student-athletes.

Pougnet graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from Grand Valley State University, before earning his Master's degree in Business Administration from Roosevelt University in 2014.

As an amateur player, Pougnet has qualified for the Michigan Open on three occasions (2012, 2014 and 2019) while carrying a 0 handicap.
