Leah Herzog joined The University of Tulsa women's golf program as an assistant coach in August of 2024.
In her first year at Tulsa, Herzog helped guide the women’s golf team to their first American Athletic Conference Championship since 2021. The Golden Hurricane won the AAC Championship by 21 strokes and finished the week 12-und par 852. She helped guide Romaine Masserey to the Individual AAC Championship, the first Tulsa player to claim the individual crown in program history. With her help, Roters and Herzog led TU to their 21st trip to an NCAA Regional appearance. Lovisa Gunnar, Romaine Masserey, Jenni Roller and Sydney Seigel all received all-conference honors in her first year as an assistant coach. During the regular season, she helped Roller to her first career victory as she was co-champion at the Veritex Bank Collegiate.
