WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Tim Graham has been named the new head coach of the Palm Beach Atlantic women's golf program.
 
Graham becomes the second head coach in the history of PBA's women's golf team which was established in 2013. Craig Watson, who coached both the men's and women's golf teams since 2013, will stay on staff as the head coach of the men's golf team.
 
"I am very excited about the opportunity to join the athletic department of Palm Beach Atlantic University as the Head Women's Golf Coach," Graham said. "I look forward to working with the outstanding administrators, coaches, and student-athletes at PBA. It is an honor to work at a strong faith-based institution with excellent academic and athletic programs."
 
Graham comes to PBA from North Myrtle Beach, S.C. He brings over 30 years of athletic experience as a coach and administrator.
 
Most recently, Graham coached at Loris High School in South Carolina. At Loris, he served as head women's golf coach, head baseball coach, and assistant athletic director. In his two seasons leading the women's golf team, the team earned appearances in the state tournament. They finished 15th in 2021, followed by an 11th-place finish in 2022. He helped several Loris players reach the next level, playing at NCAA Division I and II institutions.
 
Prior to Loris, Graham was heavily involved in baseball. He was a partner in the Myrtle Beach League, a collegiate summer league, from 2021-22. He coached on several high school baseball teams throughout the last 30 years in the Myrtle Beach area and in Virginia. Graham also worked as an Associate Scout for Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves from 2005-2020.
 
"I am happy to announce Tim as our new head women's golf coach," Interim Director of Athletics/Associate Athletic Director for Administration TJ Budd said. "I'm excited about the future of Sailfish women's golf with Tim leading the team moving forward."
 
Graham inherits a women's golf team that is coming off its best season in program history. The team posted its lowest ever single-season stroke average in 2023. The 2023 squad also posted six of PBA's top 10 lowest 54-hole scores in program history this past season.
