GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Just weeks after leading the Florida Gators to the 2025 NCAA men's basketball championship, head coach Todd Golden and the school have agreed on a contract extension.
Athletic Director Scott Stricklin on Tuesday said Golden's deal now runs for the next six years and totals $40.5 million through March 31, 2031.
Golden, 39, completed his third season as coach when Florida beat Houston 65-63 on April 7 in the NCAA men's championship game.
"My family and I are grateful to be a part of Gator Nation and for the opportunity to lead this great program three years ago," Golden said.
"As we've shown during our time in Gainesville, the University of Florida is an institution that has the resources, support and people in place to compete and win national championships. I am so appreciative of each and every player and staff member who have been critical to the success we've experienced here. My family and I look forward to our future here at UF and to the continued success of our men's basketball program."
Florida's championship run saw the Gators win 12 consecutive games to close the season, including nine Top-25 victories. Eight of those were against Top-12 teams.
Golden holds a 76-33 record at Florida, including a 36-4 mark in 2024-2025.
