What is Hunter Mahan’s career?

After graduating from Oklahoma State, Mahan went pro and received his PGA Tour card. His maiden Tour victory came at the Travelers Championship in 2007, propelling him into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Later that year, Mahan cracked the top 50 and, by March 2008, had risen to the top 30. He won his second PGA Tour event, the Waste Management Phoenix Open, in early 2010. That August, Mahan won his third PGA Tour victory, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, defeating Ryan Palmer by two shots.

He won his second WGC title in early 2012, the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, defeating Rory McIlroy in the final. Mahan went on to win his fifth PGA Tour title in April at the Shell Houston Open. As a result, he peaked at No. 4 in the Official World Golf Ranking, the highest ever for an American. In 2013, Mahan attempted to defend his title at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, but was defeated by Matt Kuchar in the final.

In the summer of 2014, Mahan won the first of the year’s four FedEx Cup playoff events, his sixth career PGA Tour win and first playoff victory. Tom Watson named him as one of three captain’s picks for the 2014 Ryder Cup team. Mahan’s performance declined significantly beginning with the 2015-16 PGA Tour season.

Over the next four years, he ended considerably below 100th in the FedEx Cup rankings and had to compete in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals several times to keep his full Tour card. Between the 2015-16 and 2020-21 seasons, Mahan had just one top-ten finish on the PGA Tour. By the first of April, 2021, he had fallen to 1,738th place in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Mahan has several official sponsors, including Ping, Under Armour, FootJoy, Ace Hardware, and BioSteel Sports Nutrition. Mahan, together with other PGA Tour golfers Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson, and Ben Crane, forms the boy band the Golf Boys. The band rose to prominence after its YouTube video for the song “Oh Oh Oh.” Farmers Insurance will donate $1,000 to charitable causes for every 100,000 video views.
