Who Does Butch Harmon Coach? - Golf Monthly
Harmon coaches some of the world's best players
www.golfmonthly.comButch Harmon’s coaching role isn’t current; he’s long been a part-time/consulting figure rather than a full-time on-tour coach. Recent reporting and public statements over the years have indicated he’s stepped back from regular on-tour coaching, with his son Claude sometimes stepping in or taking over responsibilities for players like Dustin Johnson, while Harmon remains active in coaching in a more limited, advisory capacity.[1][3][8]
Key points:
- Harmon historically coached top golfers including Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson, and has worked with others like Phil Mickelson; he has also been associated with multiple coaching setups over the years.[3][4][1]
- In recent times, coverage suggests he’s transitioned away from full-time touring coaching, often operating in a reduced role or via clinics, rather than directing a single high-profile stable of players on a tournament-by-tournament basis.[5][8][1]
Illustration:
- If you’re trying to verify who currently coaches a specific player tied to Harmon’s network, the most reliable approach is to check that player’s official announcements or recent interview quotes, since the arrangement can change and may involve multiple coaches or consultations over a season.[6][1]
Would you like me to look up a specific player you have in mind (e.g., Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, or Phil Mickelson) and confirm their current coaching setup? I can provide a concise update with citations.
