and only five schools qualifying for the NCAA Championship, the Yellow Jackets’ 2025-26 season is likely to end after Wednesday’s final round. And so with it the coaching career of Bruce Heppler after 31 years in Atlanta. Upon Heppler announcing this would be his last season in December, I wrote about his myriad of accomplishments. His résumé at Tech includes 74 tournament wins, 14 ACC titles and four NCAA runner-up finishes … but no national title. Don’t get hung up on that last point. Since first covering college golf in the 1997, I can’t name a coach with more enthusiasm for his school, dedication to the well-being of his players past and present and passion for improving college golf. Unfortunately, he won’t get to take a final bow at nationals, but his legacy is unrivaled.
