SALEM, Ore. – Todd Bowers will take over as the Warriors' new head men's golf coach & director of golf program administration, Corban University director of athletics Twiggs Reed announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Part of an exhaustive national search, Bowers comes to Salem all the way from Indianapolis, Ind.
"I am excited to announce Todd as the newest addition to our athletic coaching ranks," said Reed. "Todd was drawn to Corban because of the school's mission; not only does he look forward to developing student-athletes who can succeed on the course, but he also is passionate about mentoring followers of Christ."
Bowers brings experience from both the high school and collegiate ranks, recently serving as the head men's and women's golf coach at Seminole State College in Seminole, Okla. Prior to that, Bowers spent nearly four years coaching at Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis.
Speaking on the opportunity, Bowers said: "I was specifically interested in Corban because I wanted to coach in an institution and athletic department of like-minded people, pursuing God and working for the kingdom every day."
He will inherit a squad that has finished as the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) Tournament Runner-Up in each of the past three seasons. The Warriors will return a number of key contributors in 2019-20 as the squad navigates the ever-competitive CCC.
Bowers' success as a leader on the course and his eagerness to disciple student-athletes make him an ideal fit to spur the nationally-recognized Corban golf programs to new heights.
"It is clear that Todd has a wealth of knowledge," Reed added, "And he also has a love for Christ that he is eager to share in his role at the helm of our men's golf team."
Warrior fans will have an opportunity to meet Bowers at the 2019 Warrior Golf Classic on Monday, August 19. The event will mark the beginning of Bowers' duties.
