BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Adrien Mörk has been named the new head men's golf coach at Florida Atlantic University, FAU Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White announced on Friday.
"We're very excited to have Coach Mörk join us in Paradise," White said. "He really stood out throughout the interview process. We believe he will do a great job connecting with our current student-athletes, as well as having success in recruiting future Owls. Adrien's track record in coaching is outstanding and we're looking forward to him continuing the upward trajectory of the FAU men's golf program."
Mörk comes to Florida Atlantic after six seasons at TCU. He was an assistant with the Horned Frogs from 2017-2019 before being promoted to associate head coach in 2019. Mörk made a brief stop as associate head coach at Arkansas before ultimately seizing the opportunity to take the reins at FAU. He will assume the role previously held by
Mark Leon, who departed earlier this month to become the head coach at his alma mater Penn State.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to lead Florida Atlantic University men's golf," Mörk said. "I am also thankful to the people that helped me along the way to become a head coach and I am looking forward to coaching in Florida again and calling FAU home. Go Owls!"
This past year, Mörk helped the Horned Frogs place runner-up at the 2023 Big 12 Championship. With that, TCU reached an NCAA Regional in all five years the championship was held during Mörk's six-year tenure with the Horned Frogs.
Prior to TCU, Mörk was an assistant coach at UCF for two seasons (2015-17). The Knights made the NCAA Regional both years and advanced to the NCAA Championship in 2017 where they finished tied for 14th.
Prior to his time in in Orlando, he served as Coach of the French Golf Federation. He was the Team Advisor at the 2015 European Team Championship in Sweden, where his squad took fifth-place. He also coached for France at the 2015 British Amateur, where a record four French players played reached the quarterfinals, including Romain Langasque who won the event. Langasque went on to make the cut at both the British Open and the Masters.
As a professional, Mörk was the first player ever to shoot a 59 in a European Tour event, accomplishing that feat in the second round of the 2006 Morocco Classic on the Challenge Tour. With a first round 63 preceding the 59, he holds the record for lowest 36-hole score in a European Tour event (122).
Mörk played collegiately at McNeese State University from 2001-2004. He was a four-year team MVP and a member of the All-Southland Conference team. He was the Louisiana Freshman of the Year in 2001 and advanced to the NCAA Regionals as an individual twice. He graduated from McNeese State in 2004 with B.S. in marketing.
Mörk and his wife Sandrine have a daughter, Elin.
