Hunter Mahan, a former PGA Tour player, has taken on the position of high school golf coach in Texas
Hunter Mahan used to be a PGA Tour standout. In 453 starts, he made the cut 286 times. He also had 57 top-ten finishes, including six championships. In 2012, he reached a career-high rating of fourth on the Official World Golf Rankings.
Hunter Mahan last appeared on the Tour in the 2020-21 season. He made 26 starts and failed to cut in 21 of them. He was last seen on the Tour at the 2021 3M Open when he failed to cut.
After hanging up his clubs, the 41-year-old is now gearing up to coach the boys’ golf team at a private high school in Argyle, Texas.
Hunter Mahan discussed how he ended up working as a golf coach at Liberty Christian High School. Golf.com cited him as saying:
“I asked randomly about the head coaching golf position because I thought it could be fun and interesting and something completely out of my comfort zone but something I have a lot of knowledge in, and the coach was retiring, so I threw my name in the hat.”
Hunter Mahan will join Liberty Christian High School next year once the school’s former coach retires. He said that his family will be relocating to Argyle, Texas, the following year. Mahan stated:
“When you mentioned God’s path for you, it just became so clear to my wife and me.” We intend to relocate from Dallas to Argyle next year, and the children will begin attending school there.”
