Interview Highlights with CGN

Early start and long term commitment
Warren began playing golf at a young age alongside his father at their home course in Huntsville. After trying multiple sports, he made the decision in middle school to focus entirely on golf, committing to the year round demands of development.

Pivotal growth during high school
A move to the McCallie School provided structure and support that helped accelerate his progress. Surrounded by a competitive environment, Warren began playing a full tournament schedule and earned wins at both the HGA and AJGA level, including a victory in his hometown.

Recruiting process built on persistence
Warren described his recruiting journey as unconventional due to early health setbacks that delayed his exposure. He relied on consistent outreach, sending daily emails to programs while continuing to improve his results. Tournament wins ultimately shifted momentum and validated his belief that he could compete at the collegiate level.

Why Wofford was the right fit
Wofford stood out through its culture, relationships, and familiarity. With family ties to the school and strong connections with teammates and students, Warren found an environment that matched both his personal and athletic goals.

Transition to college golf

Playing with freedom as a freshman
Warren noted that the lack of expectation early in his career allowed him to compete with freedom. Without pressure tied to past results, he was able to focus on execution and gradually earn his place in the lineup.

Breakthrough moment at Carolina Cup
A final round 68 at Carolina Cup reflected patience and course familiarity. Warren stayed committed to his process and finished birdie eagle, contributing to a late team surge that secured the win.

Approach to handling adversity
Warren focuses on evaluating his process rather than reacting emotionally to results. If a mistake comes from execution, he adjusts. If not, he moves forward, understanding the variability of golf.

Balancing individual and team goals
He emphasized the importance of being a strong teammate in a sport that blends individual performance with team competition. His goal is to contribute consistently while maintaining perspective beyond golf.

Perspective beyond the game
Warren spoke directly about not allowing golf to define his identity. After experiencing that pressure early in his college career, he has worked to maintain balance and focus on long term growth.
