Matthew Sweeney

Matthew Sweeney enters his fourth season at Adelphi after starting with the program in 2021-2022. Sweeney comes from a wide array of experience in the game of golf. 

Sweeney was a member of the St. John’s University golf team from 2015-2019, where he was also able to make the Big East All-Academic Team his final three seasons there.

He represented the golf team and would communicate with the athletic director and other department staff on a routine basis. He also helped organize various fundraising events such as the St. John’s Breast Cancer Fun Run as well as the It's on Us campaign to raise awareness of sexual assault. 

Sweeney has served almost the last decade of his life in golf, working and being a member at the Garden City Golf Club since 2014 where he served in a variety of roles.
