Orangeburg, N.Y. (8/16/22) Dominican University New York Director of Athletics, Joseph S. Clinton, has announced the resignation of Keith Prokop as the head coach of both the men's and women's golf programs.

"The Charger Family wishes Keith all the best as he takes this next step in his career," Clinton said. "I would like to thank him for his dedication to the men's and women's golf programs over the past eight years."

Prokop has been named the head men's golf coach at Division I, Manhattan College.

"I would like to thank everyone for the amazing last 12 years (4 as a player, 8 as a coach) here at Dominican College now Dominican University of New York. I appreciate Joe Clinton for allowing me my start here just after graduating here and entrusting me in a program that we have built and I believe will continue to be championship caliber teams. I would also like to thank Kelly-Ann Light because if it were not for her, I would have never made it to Dominican and would have never made these life long memories along the way. I am excited to see the things that these programs will do in the foreseeable future. This will be the hardest goodbye for me in my career and I look forward to taking everything I learned here to Manhattan College."

Prokop has been at the helm of the men's program for the past eight years and began the women's program during the 2018-19 year. While with Dominican, he won the CACC Title in back-to-back years, 2019 and 2020 while earning CACC Coach of the Year honors in 2018 and 2019. Prokop led the 2016-17 men's golf team to the program's and school's first ever NCAA East/Atlantic Super Regional Championship and the first ever team apperance at an NCAA National Championship Tournament for Dominican.

Prokop graduated Dominican in 2014 with a degree in mathematics prior to taking over the program. While a student-athlete, Prokop earned a spot on the PING All-Region team in back-to-back seasons (2013, 2014).
