Career
editMoore was born in Oceanside, California. He enjoyed a high-profile amateur career, culminating in winning the NCAA Championship and sealing the winning point in the 2007 Walker Cup, before he left Oklahoma State University early in order to turn professional.[1]
After a couple of years on mini-tours, Moore has since established himself as a leading professional on the Asian Tour, finishing seventh in the 2012 Order of Merit.
Following his playing career, Moore transitioned into coaching and performance training, spending six years at Oklahoma State University as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Cowboys and Cowgirls golf programs while co-founding the school's Golf Research, Innovation and Performance (GRIP) Center. He joined University of Oklahoma as associate head coach and director of performance for the men’s golf program in 2023, helping lead the Sooners to multiple NCAA Regional titles and NCAA Championship appearances before being elevated to head coach beginning with the 2026–27 season.[2]
