Head coach Drew Roop enters his third season at the helm of both the men’s and women’s golf programs at Indiana University South Bend.
In his first year for the Titans, Roop guided the women’s program to its first All-CCAC selection while on the men’s side a few top-five individual finishes highlighted the 2018-19 season.
“This is just the first step in many for the continued success in the golf program at IUSB,” commented Roop. “I am honored to be their head coach and so proud of my players as we continue to successfully work together towards our goals.”
The Marion, Ind. native graduated from Penn High School in 1992 before heading to college where he played two years at Vincennes University. After transferring to Methodist University in Fayetteville, N.C. to pursue a professional career, Roop received his bachelor’s degree in professional golf management.
Shortly after moving home, Roop became an Assistant Golf Professional at Morris Park Country Club in South Bend. After five years, he finished his apprenticeship with the PGA of America and was elected to Class-A membership in 2002.
Roop spent time as an assistant pro at Blackthorn and Swan Lake before landing at Elcona Country Club in Bristol, Ind. After two years at Elcona as an assistant pro, he became the head golf pro at Kokomo Country Club, which from there led him back home to Mishawaka and where he is now as the Director of Golf at Eberhart-Petro GC.
Roop is married to his wife Diana and celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in July of 2019. They have four wonderful children including Alec, Jordan, and twins Tanner and Peyton.
