Casey Martin    

Head Coach of Men's Golf at University of Oregon

Casey Martin is a professional golfer and the head coach of men's golf at the University of Oregon.

Martin's golf career began at Stanford University, where was a three-time all Pac-10 and was a member of the University's NCAA Championship team in 1994. He won the 1993 Sahalee Players Championship and turned professional in 1995.

In 1998, he won a Nike Tour event, the Lakeland Classic, in a playoff, and in 1998, he attained a career highlight by finishing tied for 23rd at the U.S. Open, and briefly contending for the lead before falling back.

In late 1999, by finishing 14th on the Nike Tour money list, Martin secured a spot on the PGA Tour.

Two years later Martin successfully sued the PGA Tour for the right to use a golf cart during competition under the Americans with Disabilities Act, due to to a birth defect in his right leg known as Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome.

Martin was named head coach of the University of Oregon's men's golf team after working as a volunteer assistant during the 2006 season. Under his direction, Oregon won the 2016 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship.
