Born just outside of Toronto, Canada to a Scottish father and Guyanese mother, much of Foley’s boyhood was spent living in the cultural centers of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Toronto. He is a graduate of Tennessee State University, where he played on the golf team and majored in political science and philosophy.

Sean has been the host of some of the most widely viewed content on NBC’s GolfPass and Golf TV. Having written countless instruction articles, Sean was the youngest coach ever to be included on the masthead at Golf Digest. He has been ranked in the top five greatest coaches for over a decade in Golf Digest’s annual rankings and was ranked the best instructor by PGA TOUR players twice. Sean has also been featured on the front cover of Golf Digest twice. Most recently he also appeared in the Netflix documentary Full Swing.

Sean’s core teaching philosophy is driven by a passion to help golfers evolve into the best players and people they can be. He incorporates biomechanics, leading technology, physiology, and an inside/out understanding of the human experience.

Foley has coached countless celebrities, titans of industry and world leaders from around the globe. He is the co-inventor of the golf training aid ProSENDR+Widener. His corporate partnerships include Polo Ralph Lauren, BlueTees Golf, and Skillest.

Sean currently lives in Windermere, Florida with his wife, Kate, and two sons, Quinn, and Kieran.
