UAB Director of Athletics Mark Ingram named Iowa assistant Charlie Hoyle as the new head coach of the Blazer men’s golf program on June 7, 2024.
Hoyle becomes the ninth head coach in school history and inherits a program that has 14 NCAA Regional appearances and eight NCAA National Championship appearances.
“Charlie Hoyle is a true professional and our staff gravitated to him immediately,” Ingram said. “He has a clear plan for UAB’s golf program and a great respect for our history. Charlie expects success and has a great track record, a positive demeanor and was our athletic department’s unanimous choice for this position. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Charlie and his family to UAB.”
Hoyle comes to Birmingham after a highly successful six-year stint with the Hawkeyes (2018-24). While in Iowa City, Hoyle helped the Hawkeyes advance to five NCAA Regionals along with having two Big Ten Player of the Year honorees and two Big Ten individual champions.
During his time with Iowa, Hoyle also compiled one All-America honor, nine Big Ten honorees and eight Big Ten All-Academic recipients.
A native of Lytham, England, Hoyle attended Lander University in South Carolina where he was a two-time All-Region and All-Conference First Team selection and led his team to four-straight Division II NCAA Regional appearances and one NCAA National Championship appearance.
Hoyle was the assistant coach at Lander University from 2012-16 and guided 13 players to All-Conference honors and had two Freshman of the Year honorees.
“I am so excited for the opportunity to be the next Head Men’s Golf Coach at UAB,” Hoyle said. “Thank you to Director of Athletics Mark Ingram and the committee for putting their faith and belief in me to lead the program going forward. UAB men’s golf has a history of competing at a high level on the national stage and I am excited to write a new chapter in that history. My family and I will miss our friends and community in Iowa City dearly, but we are so delighted to move to Birmingham and be a part of the Blazer family.”
Hoyle is married to his wife, Sydney, and they have two daughters, Rosie and Lottie.
