Glen Millican named new Mizzou men’s golf coach

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mizzou has a new men's golf coach after Glen Millican was appointed by the university on Friday. This news comes less than two weeks after Mark Hankins resigned from the position.

Millican joins the Tigers after spending the previous 22 seasons leading the University of New Mexico program, where he led the team to eight Mountain West Conference titles in addition to eight appearances at the NCAA Championship Finals.

An eight-time Mountain West Coach of the Year and three-time GCAA Southwest Regional Coach of the Year, Millican is New Mexico’s all-time winningest head coach

“Coach Millican is a veteran leader, a relentless recruiter, has exceptional player-development skills and knows what success looks like. He will bring a championship vision to our strong golf community in Mid-Missouri and we are proud to welcome Coach Millican, Megan and their children to Columbia," said athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois in a release from the university.

“I’m looking forward to getting started and building on the foundation of the program that has already been established," Millican said.

Mizzou earned a bid to the NCAA Championship regional round and advanced to the SEC Tournament quarterfinals in 2022 and 2023.

Millican will be formally introduced on Mizzou’s campus on July 31.
