The third in the nation to be endorsed by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) in 1987, NMSU’s PGA Golf Management Program is one of a limited number of programs fully accredited and endorsed by the PGA. Our 4½-year PGA Golf Management Program leads to a BBA with a major in Marketing and a specialization in Golf Management. We prepare graduates for careers as PGA members at various golf facilities and golf industry positions. NMSU is one of the few PGA Golf Management universities to own a golf course. We’ve hosted numerous NCAA championships, Callaway PGA Junior Series tournaments, USGA and Section PGA Championships. NMSU conducts more than 50 PGA Golf Management sanctioned golf tournaments in an academic year, paying out more than $120,000 in scholarships, prize money and gift certificates.

An INCREDIBLE performance by Jackson Funkhouser!! Jackson is a junior in the program, a member of the men’s golf team, and just won the NM Open by seven shots!!! Jackson shot 61 in the second round to set the course record at Turtleback Mountain Golf and Resort, and finished 23 under par to set the NM Open scoring record. Truly remarkable!

Congratulations and good luck to Chad Fribley on qualifying for his first U.S. Senior Open at age 50. After advancing through both local and final qualifying, Chad earned his spot in the championship with a 3-under 68 in final qualifying.

A graduate of the program, Chad also played for the Aggies before giving it a go on the mini tours, and eventually building a successful teaching career.

Now he’ll tee it up against the best senior golfers in the world at the U.S. Senior Open. We’re wishing you the best of luck this week.
