DALLAS, TX – Each year the Northern Texas PGA recognizes its members and others in the golf community through the NTPGA Awards program. On behalf of the Northern Texas PGA Awards Committee and past Presidents of the Section, it is our pleasure to announce the 2022 Section Award Winners.
Dean Larsson, PGA head professional at Royal Oaks Country Club, is the recipient of the 2022 Northern Texas PGA Golf Professional of the Year Award. This is the highest annual honor given to a Northern Texas PGA Member, awarded for qualities of leadership, strong moral character and a substantial record of service to the NTPGA and the game of golf.
Larsson has been the PGA head professional at Royal Oaks Country Club for the last nine and a half years. He manages the very active and successful tournament and instructional programs for members and their guests. Larsson is also dedicated to making sure his staff and their families maintain a good work-life balance and therefore enjoy coming to work to serve the membership of Royal Oaks each and every day.
Larsson has been a key member in growing the Northern Texas PGA Foundation. He is a founding member of the Birdies for Kids fundraiser and participates yearly in The Great 108 at Royal Oaks which recently surpassed $2M raised for the Foundation in the last 39 years. In the past, Larsson has served on the Ewing Charity Classic Committee and was the Chairman of the Tournament Committee. He is also third on the all-time list of NTPGA individual major championships won with 15.
In addition to Dean, congratulations to the following 2022 NTPGA Award winners.
