University of Miami Women’s Basketball Coach and UM Sports Hall of Fame member Katie Meier has been tapped to serve as the celebrity host for the 29th annual UM Sports Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Tournament to benefit the Hurricane Club, to be played on Thursday, Oct. 21, at the Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables.
“I am thrilled to serve as host for this year’s Hall of Fame golf tournament,” Coach Meier said. “Being inducted into this prestigious group is the highest honor I’ve received, mainly because of the incredibly elite members.
“This tournament allows all of us to show the love and gratitude we have for the “U”, and to also share those memories with our amazing fans,” Coach Meier added.
“After a limited field last year due to COVID-19, we are thrilled to be back to a full field and lots of fun,” said Tracy Kerdyk, UMSHoF past president and golf chair. “Our host, Coach Katie Meier, along with other Hall of Fame athletes, will join our players for a day filled with great golf, lots of laughs and memorable times. Come join in!”
Meier, the winningest Coach in Miami’s program history, is starting her 17th season at the helm of the Canes and has them poised to make a run at the ACC title. The 2011 AP Coach of the Year, Katie has led Miami to 11 postseason berths and nine 20-win campaigns.
The golf tournament is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 21, and starts with registration and lunch, along with a silent auction, at 11 a.m. followed by a 1 p.m. shotgun start over the 18 holes of the Biltmore Golf Course. An awards reception will follow the golf.
Corporate teams of four golfers are available for $1,500. Sponsorships also are available.
