Rodger Gottlieb took a step back into the assistant coach role in July 2025 after six years as the first head women’s golf coach at Stockton. Gottlieb was hired in August 2018 and led the Stockton program from its inception through one year as a club sport followed by six years on the intercollegiate level.
Gottlieb is a lifelong student of the game with considerable expertise pertaining to the fundamentals of the golf swing, training and conditioning for golf and the mental aspects of competing. Stockton hosted tournaments at a variety of local courses including Linwood Country Club, Shore Gate Golf Club and LBI National Golf Club during his tenure as head coach.
Under Gottlieb’s direction, Stockton competed in seven events last year after playing nine tournaments in 2023-24 and 10 apiece in each of the previous two seasons. In 2019-20, Stockton competed in five tournaments during its inaugural season as an intercollegiate sport before the campaign was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ospreys returned to action under Gottlieb’s tutelage for three events in April 2021.
Gottlieb is the founder of RLG Associates, a strategic communications firm that has consulted with more than a dozen golf courses. In addition, he is a founding board member of The First Tee of Greater Atlantic City as well as a past chair of the Stockton University Golf Classic and member of the golf committee for the 2018 Greater Atlantic City Chamber Invitational Golf Classic.
He served as the director of the ShopRite LPGA Classic for 16 years and also spent time as the chairperson for the LPGA Player Relations and Communications Committee.
