The Texas A&M Aggies men's golf team represents Texas A&M University in the NCAA Division I intercollegiate men's golf competition. The Aggies compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Texas A&M has won eleven Conference Team Championships.[1] The Aggies have also won one national championship in 2009.[1]

For the first decade of the program the Aggies did not a have full time head coach. The duties of coach were overseen by either the pro at Bryan country club or a member of the faculty. Some notable faculty members who coached the team include hall of fame football coach Dana X. Bible[2] and Walter L. Penberthy, who founded The schools intramural program.[3] Texas A&M's first full time head coach was Frank Anderson who had previously lead the track & field team.[4]

Texas A&M's longest serving head coach was Bob Ellis who served for twenty-seven seasons. Under Ellis, the Aggies captured two Conference titles and made thirteen NCAA championship appearances.[5] After retiring as head coach in 2000, Ellis continued as a golf instructor with the schools kinesiology department.[6]

The programs only national championship came in 2009 under the leadership of JT Higgins. During Higgins tenure, the program also won their only Big 12 championship in 2012.[7]

The Aggies are currently headed by Brian Kortan. During his tenure, the Aggies have made the NCAA championship in all but Kortan's first season.[8]
