Coach recovering from heart attack

IU men’s golf Coach Mike Mayer is recovering from a heart attack he suffered on Monday.

Assistant Director of Media Relations Nate Wiechers confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Mayer was admitted to IU Health Bloomington Hospital on Monday.

He said no specific information about Mayer’s condition would be released at this time, but that “Coach is doing well.”

Former IU Assistant Coach Josh Brewer tweeted “Keep
@IUMensGolf Head Coach Mike Mayer in your prayers as he is recovering from a heart attack #Hoosiers #mentor #getwell.”

Mayer, who is in his 14th season as the Hoosier men’s head coach, is expected to be released Thursday.

“Sad news,” Brewer said. “But in a way, not as sad as it could be. He means a lot to me, and (I) wanted to see how he was doing. Hopefully it turns out well.”
