Columbia University Athletics

Ben Peluso was promoted to Assistant Men's Golf Coach in July 2017 after serving two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach for the Columbia men's golf team. 

Peluso joined the program in January 2016, and brings a strong history of golf experience to the Lions. He has been a class A PGA professional since 2008 and spent time as a teaching professional at multiple golf clubs in East Sussex, U.K. prior to moving the United States. 

Born and raised in East Sussex, U.K., Peluso cites his school friends taking up the game around 1998 as a catalyst for his amateur and professional golfing career. Soon thereafter, Peluso began his PGA training program at Piltdown in 2004 and earned a foundation degree in conjunction with the University of Birmingham, U.K. 

Peluso moved to New York City in 2015 and has since become a U.S. citizen. Peluso currently works as Director of Tenant Engagement for Adams & Company Real Estate.
