Lake Forest College

After serving as head coach in the Forester women's golf team's first three seasons and spending the next eight as the associate head coach, Tamlyn Tills returned to the helm of the program prior to the 2025-26 academic year, her 15th working with a varsity golf program at the collegiate level.

The Foresters finished second at the 2025 St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship Tournament for their third consecutive runner-up finish. All five players in the lineup earned All-SLIAC honors with Gabrielle Krebs (3rd), Libby Hearst (7th) and Sydney Foulon (9th) being named to the first team. Lake Forest has now had 19 all-conference performances in the program's first 12 seasons with at least one player in the top five at the league championships in all but two years.

The team's day three score of 302 at the 2025 SLIAC Championships is the best round in program history and the team's 54-hole total of 947 at the event was also a school record, as was its scoring average of 326.25 for the year.

The Foresters have also been successful in the classroom with 34 SLIAC All-Academic or Academic All-MWC awards in program history. Six players on the team earned that honor in 2025-26, including Krebs and Alijah Campbell, who were also named Academic All-District® by College Sports Communicators.

Upon joining the Forester staff as the head women's basketball coach in 2008, Tills also took over as the advisor and head coach of the women's golf team, which competed under club sport status until 2014. She won more than 300 games as a collegiate basketball coach, including 164 with the Foresters.

Before coming the Lake Forest, Tills was the head women's basketball coach at Concordia University Chicago, Loras College, and Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was also an NCAA Division I assistant coach at Marquette University and California State University-Fullerton and worked in the front office of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Tills was also the head women's golf coach at Loras College from 1999-2002. The Duhawks finished as high as third in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings and in the top half of the league in each of Tills' three years as head coach. A pair of Loras players earned a combined three All-IIAC honors under her direction.

Her coaching career began at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was the athletic director and volleyball and basketball coach.

Tills was also a successful collegiate athlete and is a member of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Hall of Fame.

She resides in nearby Libertyville.
