Curtis Brotherton is in his second year as the assistant coach with the JMU women's golf program.

"I am thrilled to be a part of the JMU family,” Brotherton said. “I am very fortunate to work with and learn from Coach Sargent on a day-to-day basis. She is one of the best in our field, and I believe with her guidance, JMU women's golf will reach national prominence in the near future. Our facilities at JMU are top notch and will help our team compete for conference titles each and every year. JMU has one of the best support systems for their student-athletes, and I feel privileged to work for this institution."

Prior to his start at JMU, Brotherton was an athletic development aide in the University of Tennessee Athletic Department, while completing his master’s degree in recreation and sport management in May 2014. He also worked as a graduate teaching associate during his two years of work on his master’s degree, as well as in day-to-day and tournament operations in the pro shop at Whittle Springs Golf Course.

A four-year starter at High Point University, Brotherton recorded seven top-10 and 17 top-20 finishes in his college golf career. He had 83 percent of his tournament rounds count towards the team score, with a top of 93 percent during his senior year, and won two collegiate tournaments in his career. He also set a school record for low score in the Big South Conference Tournament with a 68. During his collegiate studies where he was a four-time Big South Presidential Honor Roll selection, he also served as a school marketing intern for the Big South Conference his senior year. He also worked at High Point Country Club and the Country Club of Salisbury during his college years, working in the pro shops, on tournaments and with junior camps. Brotherton graduated from High Point with a bachelor’s in business administration with a sport management minor in 2012.

“I am very excited to have Coach Brotherton as an addition to the women’s golf program,” Sargent said. “He comes with enthusiasm and a deep desire to help everyone on the team get better as people as well as golfers. His time spent at University of Tennessee getting his master’s as well as his undergraduate time as a collegiate golfer has given him the expertise to help move this program in the right direction.”

During his high school days, Brotherton was part of three-straight state championships from 2005-07 at Ledford High School in High Point, North Carolina. He garnered All-State and All-Region honors his senior year after posting a fourth-place finish in the NCHSAA Golf Championship. The golf bug runs through his family as his father Jim played college golf at Virginia Tech, and has been a PGA professional since 1984.
