Cabe Waters is in his second season at Mizzou as an assistant coach with the women’s golf program.
In his first season on campus, Waters helped the Tigers set a program record with a 293.1 stroke average during the 2023-24 campaign – nearly four strokes better than the previous season. In addition, Mizzou collected its first SEC Golfer of the Week accolade in program history when Melanie Walker earned the award, while Fleur van Beek was named the conference’s Freshman of the Week later in the season after becoming the first MU rookie to win an individual title in 26 seasons.
Walker would finish the season with the fourth-best stroke average in the team’s record book, while van Beek posted the third-best mark by a freshman.
Waters joined the Tigers after helping Georgia Southern to its most successful run in team history. Joining a team that won two titles in its first six seasons as a program, Georgia Southern claimed six tournament championships in his two years on campus. Highlighting the run was the winning the 2022 Sun Belt Championship – the first in program history – and advancing to the NCAA Regional, where it placed seventh at Florida State.
Georgia Southern also claimed three individual titles with Waters on the staff, while carding eight of the 10 lowest rounds in program history. Overall, the Eagles set school records for team tournament score, individual tournament score and lowest team round during his two years on campus.
Prior to his time at Georgia Southern, Waters spent four years at his alma mater, Limestone University, as an assistant men’s and women’s golf coach. During his tenure on the coaching staff, the Saints won 17 tournament titles and three conference championships, while advancing to five NCAA regionals with two National Championship Match Play appearances. During the 2021 championship, the Limestone women’s program finished first in the stroke play championship and earned the No. 1 overall seed for match play.
In his four seasons as a Limestone assistant coach, Waters worked with 27 all-conference selections, three conference Players of the Year, two Jack Nicklaus Award semifinalists and 11 WGCA/PING All-Americans.
A two-time All-Conference Carolinas selection as a student-athlete, Waters helped lead Limestone to three-straight conference championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. He was named to the Conference Carolinas All-Tournament Team in each of his last two seasons and was the 2017 Conference Carolinas Men’s Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
A native of Gaffney, South Carolina, Waters earned his bachelor’s degree in sport management from Limestone in 2017.
