Head Coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin
TCU Box 297600
Fort Worth, Texas 76129
Since her arrival at TCU in August 1994, Angie Ravaioli-Larkin has become an institution on campus and in Fort Worth.
Ravaioli-Larkin is the longest-tenured head coach at TCU and across all sport programs in the Big 12 Conference, having completed her 31st season at the helm of TCU women's golf in 2024-25. A lifelong Texan, Ravaioli-Larkin is a fixture within the TCU community and the history of its athletics department. She has worked with six athletic directors and coached in five conferences.
During her storied and distinguished career, she has transformed TCU into an annual contender for the NCAA Tournament. Under Ravaioli-Larkin, the Horned Frogs have notched 28 NCAA Regional Championships berths and reached the NCAA National Championships nine times (1997, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2022, 2023). Ravaioli-Larkin has also coached four NCAA Regionals individual qualifiers in her tenure, including two in 2023-24. Ravaioli-Larkin has either advanced her team to or qualified individuals for the NCAA Tournament in 23 consecutive seasons dating back to 2002, which is the second-longest streak of continuous postseason appearances in TCU Athletics history.
TCU has won 21 tournaments under Ravaioli-Larkin, including three in 2024-25 for the first time under her leadership. The Horned Frogs have also produced the top-10 team season scoring averages in program history over the last decade, highlighted by a school record 289 in 2024-25.
Ravaioli-Larkin has mentored nine All-Americans, 38 all-conference players and 46 All-American Scholars in her time as head coach. A total of 19 of Ravaioli-Larkin’s former players have gone on to enjoy professional careers; Susan Horton, Angela Stanford, Lori Sutherland, Brooke Tull, D'Rae Ward, Stacey Bieber, Elin Emanuelsson, Catherine Matranga, Valentine Derrey, Brooke Beeler, Rachel Raastad, Chaney Uhles, Sanna Nuutinen, Alexandra Bonetti, Emmy Martin, Annika Clark, Greta Bruner, Sabrina Iqbal and Lois Lau
She has led TCU to five conference titles in three different leagues. Ravaioli-Larkin claimed the first conference crown in program history in 1998 when TCU captured the Western Athletic Conference championship. TCU notched its second-ever league title in 2002, winning the Conference USA, and hoisted the Mountain West Conference championship in 2007 and 2012.
Ravaioli-Larkin authored arguably her greatest season as the Horned Frogs head coach this past season. TCU broke 17 team or individual program records in 2024-25, including scoring average (289), birdies (533), par-or-better rounds (15), top-five finishes (nine), low-36 (557, -19), low-54 (830, -34) and year-end national ranking (No. 15). The 2024-25 squad became the first team in the Ravaioli-Larkin era to win three championships in the same season, the first in 35 years to collect a trio of titles and one of only four in program history to achieve the feat alongside the 1982, 1983 and 1989 contingents. With Ravaioli-Larkin leading the charge, TCU ascended as high as 13th in the national rankings - its highest mark in program history - and saw four players maintain top-100 individual rankings.
Prior to leading the program into its Big 12 era, Ravaioli-Larkin was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year each of TCU’s final three seasons of conference affiliation from 2010-2012. She has five conference coach of the year accolades to her name. Ravaioli-Larkin was chosen as the Southwest Conference Coach of the Year in 1996 and was honored as WAC Coach of the Year in 1996 after leading TCU to the league title.
Ravaioli-Larkin came to TCU as a proven winner on the links. A four-year letterman at SMU, she was a two-time All-Southwest Conference honoree and was instrumental in helping the Mustangs consistently qualify for the postseason. As a freshman, she was the runner-up at the 1986 SWC Tournament. She won a pair of tournaments her senior year. Ravaioli-Larkin led SMU to NCAA Championships in 1986 and 1989.
In August 1989, Ravaioli-Larkin turned professional and racked up an assortment of impressive results. She competed in the 1992 U.S. Open and was the leading money winner on the 1991 Players West Golf Tour. Playing on the Asahi Asian Tour in 1992, Ravaioli-Larkin earned order merit honors and finished in the top-15 four times in five events.
Ravaioli-Larkin, a Bedford, Texas, native, joined the TCU family in August 1994 after five years in the professional golf world. Undoubtedly known for her playing ability, she was quickly recognized for her coaching chops.
She was named the 1996 Southwest Conference Co-Coach of the Year. In 1997, she was a finalist for NCAA District VI Coach of the Year laurels after leading her team to 12th place at the national tournament.
In the spring of 1998, Ravaioli-Larkin netted District Coach of the Year honors as well as Coach of the Year distinction from the Western Athletic Conference.
Ravaioli-Larkin's teams have always been active members of the Fort Worth community, spending time with several charitable causes. She also developed a senior charity program in which the team's seniors are responsible for adopting a charity of their choice. During the off-season, the Horned Frogs donate their time to that cause.
Ravaioli-Larkin leads by example in serving on several boards and committees herself. On June 1, 2020, she became president of the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) for the 2020-21 season. She has served in various vice-president capacities since 2014. Additionally, she has also held several leadership and committee roles in the organization, including All-America and Hall of Fame selections, new coaches’ orientation, and education. Ravaioli-Larkin has also served on the NCAA Regional Selection Committee. These commitments not only demonstrate her character, but they show her ability to "walk her talk."
On the recruiting trail, Ravaioli-Larkin seeks quality student-athletes. She strongly believes in having positive attitudes and wants her players to leave TCU better people, no matter how life directs them after graduation. Ravaioli-Larkin truly feels that TCU is more than just four years -- it is a lifetime. She understands that golf is an individual sport but expects teamwork and team spirit to become champions.
Golfing is at the core of Ravaioli-Larkin’s fabric. For her, it is a family affair. Her husband, Rob Larkin, is vice president of asset management for Pegasus Golf. Together, they are the parents of two TCU graduates; a daughter, Brittney, and son, Braeden.
