Head Coach
Rob Shutte announced the addition of
Ryan Rose as an assistant coach for the Rutgers men's golf team on Dec. 21, 2020. A four-year letterwinner with the program from 2013-17, Rose returns to his alma mater after a successful career in marketing.
A three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, Rose appeared in 22 tournaments and carded 60 varsity rounds for Rutgers during his collegiate care. The Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, native also represented the Scarlet Knights in back-to-back Big Ten Match Play Championship events as a junior and senior and was named the team's Big Ten Sportsmanship award recipient in 2016.
After he earned his bachelor's degree (with honors) in economics from Rutgers in 2017, Rose transitioned into the private sector as an account executive with
160over90, a creative agency and marketing firm based out of New York City. Rose was responsible for a number of clients with
160over90 and operated as the organization's lead for Allstate's Southeastern Conference partnership, which included management of assets for the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Football Championship and the coordination of the Allstate SEC Legends program at the SEC Men's Basketball tournament.
A constant fixture around the program since graduation, Rose has participated in several of RU's Hackberry Invitational alumni golf outings and most recently served on the bag for reigning Big Ten Player of the Year
Christopher Gotterup at the Lincoln Land Championship, part of the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour, this past September in Springfield, Illinois.
Rose returns to a program that continues to rise both regionally and across the country. Coming off arguably one of the best seasons in school history, Rutgers finished 86th out of the 294 Division I teams nationally, according to
GolfStat, and 79th in the country according to Golf Week. The final
GolfStat ranking was the seventh-best team result in the Big Ten Conference as Rutgers closed the regular season in the top half of the league rankings for the first time since joining in 2014. The Scarlet Knights' 288.74 scoring average was a program record. The rise earned Shutte 2020 Division I Northeast Coach of the Year honors.
