Layne Savoie


Layne Savoie, who helped coach the University of Arkansas to a runner-up finish at the 2009 NCAA Championship, is entering his first season as the Assistant Coach for Florida State men's golf. Savoie comes to Florida State after four years as the Associate Head Coach at the University of Arkansas.

Savoie was an integral part of Arkansas' rise to national prominence as the Razorbacks jumped up both the national and Southeastern Conference rankings when he solidified his recruiting roots at his first collegiate coaching job. The Razorbacks were the national and SEC runners-up in 2009 and consistently ranked in the nation's top 30 during the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. During that time he coached three All-Americans, three All-SEC player and two All-SEC Freshman selections.

Savoie, who will be the Director of Player Development for both the nationally ranked Seminoles' men's and women's teams, is considered to be one of the top teaching coaches in all of college golf. He has instructed players on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and Futures Tour and has worked with multiple winners on each of the three prominent national tours. Savoie has instructed All-American golfers at LSU, Auburn, Lamar, Baylor, Texas Tech and Arkansas.

Prior to his tenure at Arkansas, he was the top instructor at the Chuck Cook Golf Academy at the Barton Creek resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. His golf education includes training under some of the top names on the sport including David Ledbetter, Chuck Cook, Mac O'Grady, Ben Doyle, Tom Ness, Bill Moretti and Jackie Burke. His mentors have been considered the top teachers of the sport of golf world-wide in the last 15 years. Savoie also has a bachelor's degree as an authorized instructor of the Golfing Machine.
