Dave Pezzino is the head coach of the University of Connecticut men's golf program in Storrs, Connecticut, and enters his 19th season in that position in 2025-26 after taking over the program on Aug. 24, 2007.
Under Pezzino, UConn has built a consistent record of success in competition and the classroom. His teams had won 19 tournament titles through the end of the 2023-24 season, including three that year: the UConn Invitational at GreatHorse, BIG EAST Match Play, and The Surf Club Invitational. UConn won the UConn Invitational for the fifth time in the event's 14-year history, and the BIG EAST Match Play title marked the program's third straight victory in that event. In 2022-23, the Huskies added another tournament win and six top-five finishes, and Jared Nelson became the first UConn men's golfer to earn BIG EAST Player of the Year honors. UConn also won BIG EAST Match Play in 2022-23 after finishing the 2021-22 season with top-five finishes in 10 of 12 events, with Huskies claiming medalist honors in three tournaments.
