How Vancouver Keeps Producing PGA Tour Players | Fraser Mulholland

Why does Vancouver keep producing PGA Tour players?

Returning guest Fraser Mulholland, President and Commissioner of the Vancouver Golf Tour, joins Steve Tees Off to talk about the competitive golf pipeline in BC and what it takes to move from local tournament golf to the professional game.

Fraser shares what he’s seeing across the 2026 VGT season, which players are standing out, how the depth of talent is changing, and why competing under real pressure teaches golfers things practice simply can’t.

We also get into the VGT’s long history of helping prepare players who went on to bigger stages, including Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin, Adam Svensson and A.J. Ewart, and Fraser explains what he looks for when a young player starts to show that next-level potential.

Plus:

• The state of the 2026 Vancouver Golf Tour season
• Who’s playing the best golf right now
• The next generation of BC golf talent
• Why seasoned professionals still return to VGT events
• How amateurs and juniors can get involved
• What first-time players should expect
• The Race to Wailea
• The Vancouver Open and the biggest events on the schedule
• Why competitive golf in the Lower Mainland continues to grow

Fraser also talks about what makes links golf different, how local sponsors help strengthen competitive golf, and why giving players meaningful opportunities to compete matters so much for the future of the game.

If you follow Canadian golf, junior golf, amateur golf, the PGA Tour or the next wave of BC talent, this is an episode worth hearing.
