Coaching Staff

Jonathan Moore
Associate Head Coach & Director of Perf

Jonathan Moore, the 2006 individual NCAA men's golf champion, enters his first season as the Associate Head Coach and Director of Performance for the Oklahoma men's golf program in 2023-24. 

Moore joined head coach Ryan Hybl's staff following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season and comes to Norman after a successful professional career as a player and six years piloting the strength, conditioning, and development program for the Oklahoma State men's and women's golf programs.

The Vancouver, Wash., product turned professional after competing in the 2007 Walker Cup, where he eagled the last hole to secure the final point for Team USA. He enjoyed a nearly decade-long professional career, winning four times and establishing himself as one of the premier players on the Asian Tour. Following his retirement as a player, he returned to Stillwater as the assistant strength and conditioning coach, working primarily with Cowboy and Cowgirl golf. In addition, he developed golf-specific programs that optimized the physical tools of OSU golfers to create best-in-class performance.

With Moore on staff, the men's and women's teams at Oklahoma State combined to win four Big 12 and one national championship, along with a runner-up finish at the 2021 women's national championship. In addition, Moore assisted in developing 14 All-American golfers in the six years he spent on staff.

He co-founded the OSU Golf Research, Innovation, and Performance (GRIP) Center. The GRIP program conducts groundbreaking research with Oklahoma State golfers by identifying and measuring variables contributing to player success, including sleep, hydration, strength, power, and more. The first-of-its-kind research center has revolutionized the science of amateur golf and provided student-athletes with tools that professional golfers utilize daily to compete at the highest level.

In addition, Moore co-designed the Gray Institute's functional golf system – a certification that has been taught to movement professionals all around the world to enhance their ability to rehab and train golfers.

Moore is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and a fellow of applied functional science through the Gray Institute.

He is married to Dr. Claire Moore of Cushing, Okla. They have three children, Adelyn, J.T., and Charlotte.
