“I’m delighted to welcome Coach Heintz into his new role for Duke men’s golf,” said King. “Bob has poured so much of himself into this program over the past eight years, building deep, meaningful relationships with our student-athletes and helping them grow on and off the course. His first-hand knowledge of Duke and our commitment to excellence, combined with his experience as both a head coach and a PGA Tour player, made it clear that he is the right person to lead us forward. I have no doubt he will continue to elevate our program with the same integrity, passion and care that our student-athletes have come to count on.”
Heintz assumes the head coaching position following two seasons as associate head coach for the Duke men’s golf program, after starting as an assistant coach for the Blue Devils in February of 2017. During his time as an assistant coach, Heintz was named a finalist for the Jan Strickland Outstanding Assistant Coach Award in 2020.
“I want to thank Nina King for placing her trust in me to lead this program,” said Heintz. “I’m also grateful to Jack Winters, Heather Ryan and Mike Sobb for their support during this process. It’s an honor to be named the next head coach of Duke men’s golf during this transformative time in college athletics, and I’m looking forward to helping our student-athletes find success in this new era, both on and off the course. I’m proud of what this program has accomplished during my time as assistant and associate head coach, and I’m excited to build on our success. Let’s go Duke!”
With Heintz on the coaching staff, Duke men’s golf has claimed 15 team titles, including the 2017 ACC Championship. In postseason play, Duke has earned a berth to an NCAA regional in every possible season and has advanced to the NCAA Championship four times as a team, including an appearance in the 2018 match-play semifinals. Both Ethan Evans and Bryan Kim have represented Duke at the 2024 and 2025 NCAA Championships, respectively, as individuals, with Heintz serving as the on-course coach.
In his eight seasons, Heintz has helped the Blue Devils set the top eight team season scoring averages in program history, and Duke has posted a program-low 54-hole score of 41-under, 823, two separate times with Heintz on the staff.
