Hunter Mahan is a six-time PGA Tour winner and former U.S. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup player. He’s set to begin coaching the boys’ golf team at Liberty Christian, a private, college preparatory Christian school located in Argyle, Texas in the spring of 2024.
Mahan reached a career-high world ranking of No. 4 on April 1, 2012. That made him the highest-ranked American golfer at the time. But he last won in 2014 at The Barclays, a FedEx Cup Playoff event.
Born in California, Mahan played collegiately at Oklahoma State University and is known for having one of the best golf swings of his generation.
Mahan stepped away from the PGA Tour after the 2020-21 season – he still has limited status as a past champion.
