LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville's women's golf team has a new assistant coach.  Head coach Whitney Young announced current Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) golfer and former Ole Miss All-American Dori Carter is her new assistant.

“We are very excited to have Dori join the Cardinal family,” Young said. “With her nine years of experience on the LPGA Tour and a successful college career, she brings the competitiveness and knowledge we are looking for to help us win championships. Her personality and passion for the game will be a great asset to this program and to our university and supporters.”

Carter joined the LPGA tour in 2011 and played in more than 140 events. The Valdosta, Georgia native served as a volunteer assistant coach for Ole Miss the past three seasons.

During her time with the Rebels, Carter was part of two teams that qualified for the NCAA Championship along with the 2019 team that won the SEC Championship.

“What a wonderful opportunity the University of Louisville has given me to continue my involvement in this great game,” Carter said. “I look forward to working with coach Young, the administration, and especially the current and future Cardinal student-athletes. This program is in such a great place because of what (former) coach Courtney Trimble built here, and with coach Young's guidance, the future is bright. I am so excited to be a new member of the UofL family.”

Carter is a 2009 graduate of Ole Miss with a degree in business administration.  

UofL's women's golf team begins its season at the Minnesota Invitational September 9-10 in Woodbury, Minnesota.
