Marty McCauley takes the reins of the powerhouse Oklahoma City University women’s golf program.
McCauley has spent the past five years as men’s golf assistant coach to Greg Sands at Texas Tech. With Texas Tech, McCauley helped guide the program to heights never before achieved since arriving in 2005.
The Red Raiders enjoyed some of the best seasons in school history, including four trips to the NCAA Championships and five consecutive NCAA regional appearances. Texas Tech completed its finest season in 50 years in 2009-10, falling to Florida State 4-1 in match play of the NCAA Championships. Tech posted its first top-eight NCAA finish since 1959.
Texas Tech has fielded the strongest lineups in school history during McCauley’s tenure. Tech had six all-Americans the past five seasons, including three-time all-American Oscar Floren, who became the first Red Raider named first-team PING all-American.
McCauley previously served as assistant coach to Kyle Blaser on OCU’s ultra successful men's golf program for two seasons. McCauley aided the Stars to the 2003 and 2004 NAIA national championships as well as the 2003 and 2004 Sooner Athletic Conference titles. During those two years, OCU produced seven all-Americans as well as two NAIA scholar-athlete award winners.
Prior to his previous coaching stint at OCU, the Cushing, Okla., native played collegiate golf at Wichita State for coach Grier Jones from 1999-2002. McCauley helped the Shockers capture a pair of Missouri Valley Conference Championships prior to his graduation. Additionally, he received Missouri Valley academic all-conference honors during his career.
As a prep player at Cushing High School, McCauley finished his career with back-to-back Class 3A state individual championships in 1997 and 1998. McCauley was an all-state selection as a senior as well as being a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award rewarded to the top senior athlete in the state.
McCauley and his wife Sara were married in August 2008.
