Mulligan Secures Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship Title
Eight NTPGA Professionals Advance to National Championship at Streamsong Golf Resort

FRISCO, Texas (June 30) – Chance Mulligan, PGA assistant professional at Odessa Country Club, claimed the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship after rounds of 73-72–145, 1-over-par at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.
After round one, a day filled with consistent 25-mile-per-hour winds, Mulligan was in a tie for first at 1-over-par to begin today’s final round. A birdie on the third hole quickly gave him a two-shot lead. Steady play throughout the round led to a birdie putt on hole 18 that lipped out to a testy five feet. Needing to save par to clinch the victory, Mulligan buried the putt perfectly in the center of the cup.
After two full days of whipping winds, Mulligan acknowledged how tough the 2027 PGA Championship course was playing. “Nobody was going to avoid mistakes. I told myself that every time one popped up, it’s not about what previously happened. It was about how you respond and move forward. Anytime I had a small or large setback, I just got back on the bull, grabbed it by the horns and put my best foot forward,” said Mulligan.
Mulligan is also a former Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour Member and NTPGA intern. “The support I’ve had from the time I started my journey in golf to right now has always been through the Northern Texas PGA. I was supported today in so many different ways. It’s just very gratifying, and I’m so thankful to represent so many different people, like my friends, family, and Odessa Country Club.”
This is Mulligan’s first win in the Section, earning him a $6,000 champion’s check for his victory today.
This Championship also served as a qualifier for the PGA Professional Championship, set for April 25-28, 2027, at Streamsong Golf Resort in Bowling Green, Florida.
“I set a goal two years ago when I first got into the golf industry to earn a spot on the team representing the Northern Texas PGA at the PPC. To set a goal that far out in advance and achieve it is everything. I guess the next goal is to play well enough to get lucky and end up in the PGA Championship here on home soil,” said Mulligan.
