Park joins Cowgirl Golf staff as Associate Head Coach
June 11, 2025 | Cowgirl Golf
STILLWATER -- Oklahoma State head women's golf coach Annie Young announced the addition of Daniel Park as the program's new associate head coach.
Park, who served as an assistant coach for the international team at last week's Arnold Palmer Cup, arrives in Stillwater after successful stints at Houston (2021-25) and UTSA (2018-21).
"I am thrilled to have Daniel join our coaching staff," Young said. "He is one of the best in the business. We're excited to have him and his family in Stillwater."
Park helped coach Houston to three NCAA Regional appearances in four years, along with the two highest postseason finishes in program history.
Park was promoted to associate head coach ahead of the 2024-25 season, during which the Cougars tied a school record with three team titles and finished 27th in the final Scoreboard by Clippd national team rankings. In addition, junior Moa Svedenskiold was a two-time medalist and advanced to the NCAA Championship as an individual.
In all, five of Park's Cougars earned all-conference honors and two more made the Big 12's all-tournament team. UH student-athletes also excelled off the course, combining for 15 conference all-academic honors and nine WGCA All-American Scholar Athlete nods during his tenure.
Prior to Houston, Park spent three seasons at the University of Texas at San Antonio from 2018-21. Despite losing a year's worth of tournaments to COVID-19, the Roadrunners won a total of five team titles, including the 2019 Conference USA Championship, and made a pair of NCAA Regional trips. The 2021 squad earned only the second at-large bid in program history. Park coached four different UTSA golfers to all-conference honors, including 2019 CUSA medalist Ana Gonzalez.
Park came to San Antonio from Auburn, Ala., where he held dual roles as marketing and tournament director for the Southeastern Junior Golf Tour and as a golf coach at Auburn High School. He also served as a tournament services intern with Global Golf Management in Opelika, Ala., where he helped promote event opportunities and assisted with general operations during PGA Tour's 2017 Barbasol Championship.
A former standout collegiate golfer for Alabama State, Park helped lead the Hornets to three consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference championships from 2013-15. As a senior, he earned First Team All-SWAC honors and was a Cleveland/Srixon All-American Scholar.
Park graduated summa cum laude from Alabama State with a 3.94 GPA while majoring in communications and minoring in finance. From 2015-17, Park worked as a public speaking instructor with Auburn University's Communications Department while completing his master's degree in communication.
Park is a native of Kendall, England. He and his wife, Shanon, were married in 2017 and have a son, Lucas David, born in May 2024.
