Dalton Stevens, who helped South Florida to consecutive NCAA Regional bids in 2023 and 2024 for the first time since 2002, was named associate head coach at Georgia in May 2024.
Stevens spent the previous six seasons working with head coach Erika Brennann at USF.
“Coach DS is a tremendous person who prioritizes the welfare of student-athletes and ensures they achieve at their greatest potential,” Brennan said. “He is a tenacious recruiter and a proven developer. After almost seven years I can say with great enthusiasm and great certainty, there is nobody else on earth I’d rather coach alongside of than Coach Stevens.”
Stevens joined the USF staff in June 2018 as an assistant coach and was promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2023-24 season. All told, he has 10 seasons of collegiate coaching experience.
“I feel incredibly honored and thankful to be a part of the University of Georgia as the Associate Head Coach for the women’s golf program,” Stevens said. “Coaching in the SEC has been a long-standing aspiration of mine, and I’m thrilled about the journey ahead for our program.”
Stevens has helped guide the Bulldogs to some impressive results since arriving in Athens. Georgia swept the team and individual titles at The Robbie in 2025 and the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in 2026. Four different Bulldogs have won individual titles, led by 2025 SEC Newcomer of the Year Chantel El Chaib.
Brennan and Stevens teamed together as South Florida rewrote almost all of its team and individual records over the past several years, culminating with one of its most successful campaigns ever during 2023-24. The Bulls shattered numerous team and individual records en route to winning three tournaments and finishing third or better in seven of 11 events in 2023-24. Most notably, Melanie Green’s school-record season scoring average of 69.73 led to a new USF team average mark of 287.30. Green also produced the lowest 18- and 54-hole scores ever by a Bull – 8-under 64 (twice) and 11-under 205 (twice). Team wise, USF posted its best round ever – a 17-under 271 – on the way to the best tournament mark – a 28-under 836 – to win the Westbrook Invitational.
Green became one of the most decorated golfers in school history. She was named 2024 American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Year and became the Bulls’ first two-time All-American since 1993. Green represented the U.S. in the Arnold Palmer Cup in 2024. She was then the points leader in the Epson Tour’s Race for the Card in 2025 and debuted on the LPGA Tour in 2026.
In Stevens’ six seasons in Tampa, USF won 11 titles – six team and seven individual. During his first year with the Bulls, they climbed 111 spots in the national rankings from No. 154 to No. 80. That ascension continued as the Bulls rose to No. 32 in 2024.
The team also excelled academically, finishing the 2021-22 season with the ninth-best grade point average in the country and producing 13 WGCA All-American Scholars between 2019-24.
Stevens arrived at USF with four seasons of collegiate coaching experience. Immediately before joining Brennan’s staff in Tampa, he spent two seasons as head coach of both the men’s and women’s golf teams at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. Stevens was named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for men’s and women’s golf in 2018.
On the men’s side, Stevens led Bethany to a runner-up finish at the KCAC Championships in 2017 before the Swedes won the conference title by 12 shots in his season. The Bethany women showed dramatic improvement under Stevens, improving to fourth to second at the KCAC Championships during his two seasons and moving up 55 spots in the Golfstat national rankings in the process.
Stevens began his coaching career at Iowa Central Community College in 2014-15 before returning to his alma mater, Kirkwood Community College, the following campaign, where he helped the Eagles finish as runner-up at the 2016 NJCAA Division II Championships while producing a trio of All-Americans.
Stevens played two seasons at Kirkwood from 2010-12, earning PING All-Central Region honors, winning medalist at the 2011 Region XI Championship, qualifying for the NJCAA Championships both years and helping the Eagles finish ninth at the 2012 national championships. Stevens then played at Saint Xavier University in Chicago as a junior and at Mount Mercy University in his hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa as a senior.
Stevens earned an associate’s degree from Kirkwood in 2012 and a bachelor’s in Business Administration (Management) from Mount Mercy in 2014. He is married to the former Christina Wisz, and they are proud “dog dad and mom” for “Mia.”
