Veronique Drouin-Luttrell, one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the SEC, enters her 18th season at the helm of Oklahoma women's golf in 2026-27 after being named the program's head coach on June 24, 2009.

After taking over a program that finished 10th or worse in half of its events in 2008-09, Drouin-Luttrell has transformed Oklahoma into a perennial national contender. The Sooners have posted top-five finishes in more than 60% of their tournaments during her tenure, won 11 team championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament seven times. Oklahoma's 16 lowest season scoring averages have all come under her leadership.

The 2012, 2013 and 2014 Sooners finished sixth, ninth and fourth, respectively, at the NCAA Championships. Prior to that stretch, Oklahoma had recorded just one top-10 national finish in program history (sixth in 2002). The fourth-place finish in 2014 remains the highest NCAA Championship finish in school history.

In the summer of 2026, Drouin-Luttrell served as an assistant coach for Team International at the Palmer Cup, helping guide the squad to victory in one of collegiate golf's premier international competitions.

In both 2025 and 2026, every member of Oklahoma's roster earned academic recognition from either the SEC or the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). During Drouin-Luttrell's tenure, Sooner student-athletes have collected 30 WGCA All-American Scholar honors.

The top 20 54-hole team scores in school history and the program's 23 lowest rounds have all been recorded under Drouin-Luttrell. Her student-athletes have also earned six All-America honors and captured 13 individual tournament titles.

In 2012, Chirapat Jao-Javanil, one of Drouin-Luttrell's first Oklahoma recruits, became the program's first individual NCAA champion and remains OU's only WGCA First-Team All-American. She claimed the national championship by four strokes at 6-under par in a field of 126 competitors in Franklin, Tenn.

Drouin-Luttrell's teams won Big 12 Championships in 2012 and 2014. The 2014 squad shattered the conference championship scoring record by 11 strokes, while Jao-Javanil also captured the individual title. Drouin-Luttrell was named Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2014 and Women's Golf Coaches Association Central Region Coach of the Year in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Drouin-Luttrell arrived at Oklahoma after serving as an assistant coach at Georgia from 2006-09. In her first full season with the Bulldogs, Georgia won two prestigious events — the Golf Daytona Beach Fall Preview and the SEC Championship. She also served as interim head coach during the 2007 NCAA Central Regional and NCAA Championships, leading the Bulldogs to second- and eighth-place finishes, respectively.

Before her time at Georgia, Drouin-Luttrell spent two-and-a-half years as a graduate assistant at Kent State while completing a standout collegiate playing career. She was named Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year in 2000, MAC Golfer of the Year in 2003 and earned first-team All-MAC honors three times.

As a senior, Drouin-Luttrell helped lead Kent State to a runner-up finish at the 2003 NCAA Central Regional and a 19th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Two years earlier, she helped the Golden Flashes place 15th at the 2001 NCAA Championships, the best finish in program history at the time.

Following her collegiate career, Drouin-Luttrell continued competing as an amateur and finished 2006 ranked No. 8 in Canada. She was runner-up at the 2006 Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur Championship after tying for medalist honors and falling in a playoff.

Her additional amateur accomplishments include advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2005 British Ladies' Amateur; representing Canada at the 2003 Commonwealth Games and the 2003 and 2005 Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship; winning the 2001 and 2003 Quebec Amateur Championship; finishing eighth at the 2004 Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur; and placing fifth in stroke-play qualifying at the 2004 British Ladies' Amateur.

A native of Sainte-Anges, Quebec, Drouin-Luttrell earned her bachelor's degree in business administration from Kent State in 2003 and her master's degree in sports management from Kent State in 2007. She and her husband, Evan, have a daughter, Emilia.
