Carnegie Mellon University Hires Dan Rodgers as Women’s Golf Coach

(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) – Carnegie Mellon University Director of Athletics Josh Centor has announced the hiring of Dan Rodgers as the head women's golf coach. Rodgers replaces Missie Berteotti and will also serve as the assistant men's golf coach.  The women's program, which played with club status this past season, will play on the varsity level starting in the fall of 2014.

"We are excited to add Dan to our team. He is an accomplished player and coach, and brings a lot of experience to our program," Centor said. "We will play a full varsity schedule in the fall and look forward to seeing Coach Rodgers and our newest Tartans out on the course."

Rodgers has been the assistant golf professional at the Sewickley Heights Golf Club in Sewickley, Pa. since 2009. He manages a staff of nearly 20, trains golf operations professionals, supervises tournaments and teaches clinics and lessons. Rodgers has also worked at the Wildwood Golf Club in Allison Park, Pa., and Valley Brook Country Club in McMurray, Pa. In 2008, he was elected as a PGA Professional and has been actively involved in tournament participation, including a 20th-place finish on the 2013 TriState PGA point list and a victory at the 2011 TriState PGA Assistants Championship.  

"I am extremely excited to be part of the Carnegie Mellon University Athletics Department," Rodgers said.  "I look forward to working with the staff and student-athletes to continue to develop a successful golf program.  It is an honor to lead the women's golf team in this time of growth as they begin their first season of competition at the NCAA Division III level."  

Rodgers is a 2004 graduate of Slippery Rock University.  He received a Bachelor of Science degree in business management.  While at Slippery Rock, he was a three-year letter winner and a two-year captain for the golf team.  Rodgers earned a Master of Science in sports management from California University of Pennsylvania in 2010 with a concentration in intercollegiate athletic administration.
