Golf leadership and athlete development.

  • Coach of a world No. 1
  • Tour professionals
  • US college players

Kris is best known for coaching Atthaya “Jeeno” Thitikul since she was 14, guiding her from Thailand’s national team to women’s world No. 1. His experience also extends across the highest levels of the men’s and women’s game. He has worked with Tom Kim, a former world No. 11 and four-time PGA TOUR winner, and Sadom “Petch” Kaewkanjana, a three-time Asian Tour champion who finished T11 at The Open. He currently coaches Mirabel Ting, the 2025 ANNIKA Award winner, NCAA No. 1 and PING WGCA National Player of the Year, who has since turned professional.

Just as important are the players you have not heard of yet: the many juniors Kris has guided to golf scholarships at universities in the United States. One honest, patient development system can carry a player to college golf, to the professional tours, and everywhere in between. At BISA, Kris will lead the development of each athlete, building a system focused on long-term performance.

From age 14 to world No. 1. That is long-term development.
