Brooke Riley enters her third season on The Farm in 2024-25 as an assistant coach for Stanford Women's Golf, after being hired in July, 2022.
Stanford won the program's third-ever national championship in 2024, with Riley playing an instrumental role. The Cardinal was the top-ranked team in the country for much of the year, and entered the stroke play portion of the national championship as the No. 1 seed for the fourth-consecutive year. The entire lineup of golfers was named to both the WGCA and Golfweek All-America teams, with freshman standout Paula Martin Sampedro earning WGCA and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors, as well as Pac-12 Golfer of the Year honors. The five All-America selections in 2024 is the most in a single season in Stanford history.
In her first season assisting the defending national champions, the Cardinal enjoyed another standout season. Stanford maintained the nation's No. 1 ranking throughout the season and producing an NCAA semifinal finish. Despite falling short in its bid to repeat as NCAA champions, the Cardinal racked up seven event wins, including team titles at the NCAA Pullman Regional and NCAA Championship.
Riley also got to help coach Rose Zhang in the final season of her decorated collegiate career, where she was name the Honda Cup sport award winner and was a Top-Three finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She won a staggering eight of 10 events she competed in, and won her second consecutive NCAA championship. In total, Riley helped coach three to the All-Pac-12 team in her first season.
A two-time graduate of Northwestern, Riley was a member of the Wildcats program that finished in the Top 10 at NCAA Championships in four straight seasons (2016-19). She twice earned All-Big Ten honors and was an honorable mention All-American in 2019. She found herself inside the Top 50 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings with three amateur wins during her collegiate career, and made the cut to play at Augusta National during the prestigious Augusta National Women's Amateur in 2021.
Riley has Stanford ties, as her sister Katie Riley played for the Cardinal women's soccer program from 2006-09. Prior to Northwestern, Riley graduated from Union East High School in Manteca, Calif.
