Sarah Butler joined the men's golf coaching staff prior to the spring of 2025.

In her first season on the staff, Butler helped mentor three PING All-Americans including First Teamer Kevin Mu and assisted the Eagles to a third place finish at the NCAA Championships.

Since joining the tour as a caddie in 2021, Butler has been on the bag for the likes of Lindy Duncan, Cydney Clanton, Katherine Kirk, Sarah Jane Smith, Joy Chou, Kristy McPherson, Elizabeth Szokol, and most recently Sarah Kemp. Butler helped Szokol navigate the course at Midland Country Club in the Dow Great Lakes Invitational in July 2023, where the two made a trip to the winner’s circle. 

Prior to her time as a caddie on the LPGA, Butler served as an Assistant Coach for the women’s golf teams at Old Dominion, Iowa State, and Colorado State. Spending five seasons with the Cyclones at Iowa State from 2015 to 2019, Butler helped oversee four postseason berths, including a program-best second-place finish at the Big 12 Championships in 2017. Under Butler’s supervision, Iowa State produced a pair of First Team All-Big 12 performers. 

Before her time at Iowa State, Butler helped produce a C-USA Freshman of the Year as well as a pair of All C-USA honorees in her lone season as the Assistant Coach at Old Dominion in 2014-15. Butler joins a program with a history of winning and looks forward to helping elevate the team to new heights. 

Butler spent four years playing professionally from 2007-10 before joining the coaching ranks, competing in the CN Canadian Women’s Tour where she posted multiple top-10 finishes. She played collegiately at the University of Minnesota, serving as a co-captain during her junior and senior seasons. Butler earned a degree in communication studies from Minnesota in 2006.
