Jonathan Moore

Title:
Associate Head Coach and Director of Performance

Jonathan Moore is set to enter his third season as the associate head coach and director of performance for the Oklahoma men’s golf team in 2025-26.

Moore, the 2006 individual NCAA men’s golf champion, joined Ryan Hybl’s staff following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season and came 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.

In his second year on staff in Norman, Moore played a key role in Oklahoma’s return to the NCAA Championships for a 14th straight season following a victory at the NCAA Amherst Regional. The Sooners captured five team titles — second most in the nation — and finished with a 169-33-4 record, closing the year ranked No. 7 nationally. OU reached match play at the NCAA Championships for a nation-leading seventh time since 2016 after placing fifth in stroke play. A nation-best four Sooners earned All-America honors, with Jase Summy and Drew Goodman collecting both All-America and All-SEC recognition, while Ryder Cowan and Clark Van Gaalen (Freshman All-American) earned All-America honorable mentions.

In his first season at Oklahoma, Moore helped guide the Sooners to an NCAA Regional championship and the program’s 13th straight NCAA Championship finals appearance. At the NCAA Championship, Oklahoma finished ninth, the program’s seventh top-10 finish nationally in eight seasons. In 2024, Moore aided in developing All-Big 12 selection and All-America honoree Ben Lorenz, as well as freshman All-American Ryder Cowan. In total, the Sooners won three events, finished as the runner-up twice and set a Big 12 record with a +34-hole differential at the Big 12 Match Play Championship in the fall.

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.

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.

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.
