Gabe Benson was named the head coach of the Cobber men's golf team in the summer of 2026. He is the 11th head coach in the history of the program.
Benson played for the Cobbers from 2022 through 2024 and then transferred to North Dakota State University, where he played the last two seasons and was an integral part of the Bison's Summit League Championship in Spring 2026.
He became only the second individual player in Cobber men's golf history to win the MIAC individual championship when he won the title in Fall 2023. He shot a 5-under total of 211 at the conference, which is the lowest score by a Concordia golfer at a three-day MIAC Meet in the program's history.
Benson went on to earn Golf Coaches Association of America All-American honors in Spring 2024. He was the first Cobber golfer to earn GCAA All-American honors in the recent history of the program.
As a student-athlete at NDSU, he was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. He earned Summit League Academic All-League honors as a senior and was placed on the Summit League Academic Honor Roll after his junior season.
Benson graduated from NDSU with a degree in finance and is currently pursuing his master's degree.
