LAWRENCE, Kan. – After 17 seasons, Kansas women’s golf coach Erin O’Neil has resigned from her post to move out of state to be closer to her family, O’Neil announced Friday.
“Throughout the past 14 months of this pandemic, the challenges and adversity we have all faced has certainly changed the way we look at what is important in life. For many of us, that is family,” O’Neil said. “Specifically, for me, that’s my parents who live in Florida. With the stay-at-home orders for many months, I was not able to be around my parents to give them the support they deserve at this point in their lives. While this is a very difficult and bittersweet decision, I have decided to step away from coaching the KU women’s golf team. I know this is the right decision because it will allow me to spend more time with my family and pursue other professional opportunities.”
