Gary Dunne was elevated to Associate Head Coach of the Seton Hall University men’s golf program in August 2025 after serving three seasons as an assistant coach under head coach J.T. Harper. Since joining the coaching staff in 2022, Dunne has played an integral role in the program’s sustained success. During his tenure, the Pirates have captured four tournament titles, highlighted by the 2024 BIG EAST Championship. That same season, Dunne, Harper, and Ian Lagowitz were recognized as the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year, reflecting the staff’s leadership and player development efforts in guiding Seton Hall to conference prominence.
A 2014 Seton Hall graduate and former standout student-athlete, Dunne competed for the Pirates for four years and earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2012. Over 34 collegiate tournaments, he posted a 76.72 career stroke average and delivered several notable performances. His top collegiate finish came at the 2012 BIG EAST Championship, where he shot a career-best 1-under-par 215 (72-74-69) to tie for seventh place. A native of Wicklow, Ireland, Dunne brings both international perspective and firsthand knowledge of the program’s culture to his coaching role. His progression from Pirate student-athlete to associate head coach underscores his commitment to Seton Hall and its continued growth within the BIG EAST and national landscape.
