Diana Cantu's contract extended through 2030 at Tennessee
Tennessee women's golf finished its 2024-25 season in 13th place at the 2025 NCAA Championships. The Lady Vols also recorded eight top five finishes during the 2024-25 campaign.
Following the conclusion of the season, Tennessee vice chancellor and director of athletics Danny White announced a contract extension through 2030 for Lady Vols' head coach Diana Cantu.
"The progress of our women's golf program under Diana's leadership has been exciting to witness," White said. "The team returned to nationals for the first time since 2019, and the high-caliber student-athletes she has recruited and developed on Rocky Top position us well for continued success!"
Cantu has served as Tennessee's head coach since 2021. She played for the Lady Vols from 2006-10.
"I am honored to be part of what I believe is the premier athletics department in the nation," Cantu said. "I am especially grateful for the steadfast support and confidence shown by chancellor Donde Plowman, director of athletics Danny White, Cam Walker and Angie Boyd-Keck — both in me, my staff, and the long-term vision we share for this program. It is a privilege to continue leading the Lady Vols Golf program, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
"As a proud LVFL, I hold immense pride in representing the University of Tennessee and contributing to its rich tradition of excellence. Since returning to Knoxville, my staff and I have worked diligently to reenergize this program and return it to national prominence. I consider it a true blessing to work alongside such talented, dedicated and competitive young women. While we are proud of the progress we have made, our journey is far from over."
