College Football coach pairings announced for Peach Bowl Golf Challenge, and man, are they interesting

Also among the more interesting — and surprisingly successful — pairings is Florida State’s Mike Norvell and former Florida and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who have won the past two events in 2024-25 and will chase a third straight Peach Bowl Challenge title later this month.

SMU’s Rhett Lashlee, one of two newcomers to the event along with former Duke head coach and current Boston College defensive coordinator Ted Roof, will be teamed with Army’s Todd Monken. It is the only pairing featuring two active head coaches.

To date, 61 collegiate head football coaches have participated in the tournament through its 19-year history, which has raised a total of $3.5 million combined for 78 different charities and foundations. Since its start in 2007, the Peach Bowl Golf Challenge has contributed $10 million in scholarships and charity.

“We’ve now raised $10 million in charitable funds from this event and look forward to adding to that total thanks to this year’s impressive field of coaches,” Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and President Gary Stokan said. “This annual tradition has grown to become the premier collegiate coach golf event and we’re thankful so many of college football’s biggest names have participated over the years in order to give back to various causes that have personal meaning to them.”
