JoJo Robertson begins her first season as the head women's golf coach at Texas Tech after being named to the post on June 25, 2009.

Robertson, who has regional ties and played collegiate golf at Oklahoma State, recently completed her fifth season with the Boilermakers, whom she helped lead to back-to-back Big Ten Championships. The Roswell, N.M., native also was instrumental in Purdue's four-straight top ten NCAA Championship finishes, including runner-up and fourth-place finishes in 2007 and 2008.

Under Robertson's tutelage, Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year and Purdue women's golfer Maria Hernandez won the 2009 NCAA Championship and the last two conference individual titles. In just her second season, the 2006 squad turned in one of the most successful seasons in program history that culminated in the NCAA Championships. The Boilermakers won a school-record six tournaments, including the Big Ten Championship and the NCAA West Regional Championship.

The 1995 and 1997 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links champion, Robertson enjoyed a distinguished collegiate career at Oklahoma State, which included a Big 12 first-team honor during her senior season and a team conference championship. Her amateur career included a ranking of No. 11 on Golfweek magazine's Female Amateur List in 1997 as well as being named one of the top 10 amateurs by Golf Digest. Robertson participated in the 1997 and 1998 U.S. Women's Opens, making the cut in 1998. Additionally, in 1998, she was a member of the United States Curtis Cup team.

Prior to joining the collegiate ranks as a coach, Robertson was an assistant professional at Spring River Golf Course in Roswell from 1999-2000. While playing on the Futures Professional Tour from 2000-02, she was also an assistant professional at the New Mexico Military Institute Golf Course through 2004.

Robertson coached the West Lafayette (Ind.) High School girls golf team in the fall of 2004 and worked at Purdue's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex as an assistant professional until her hiring as an assistant coach at Purdue in 2005.
