Biography

Jessica Combs was named the sixth head coach in Austin Peay women's golf history on June 13, 2019. Combs was a three-time All-Ohio Valley Conference selection and two-time individual medalist for the Govs in her record-shattering senior campaign. Now in her fifth year at the helm of the program, Combs has led the Governors to unprecedented success over the last three seasons. Combs' team has rewritten the Austin Peay women's golf record book with record-breaking team and individual performances while winning 10 tournaments as a team with seven individual medalists since the start of the 2021-22 season. Austin Peay's success under Combs also has extended into the classroom, where the Governors have posted a 3.0 grade-point average in all nine semesters since Combs took the reins of the program. Following her collegiate career at APSU, Combs remained a visible part of the Clarksville community, working as an assistant club professional at the River Club Golf and Learning Center. She also was the Tennessee Golf Foundation's Assistant Pro from 2017-18 and became a Class A LPGA Teaching Professional in December 2019. A two-time graduate of Austin Peay, Combs received her bachelor's degree in business administration in May 2016 and earned her master's degree in health and human performance in August 2022. In four years at Austin Peay as a player, Combs was a lineup stalwart and No. 1 from the moment she stepped on campus, serving as the scoring leader in all four seasons.
