Bryce Fisher of Arrowhead takes 6th at PNW PGA Professional Championship

MISSOULA, Mont. - In his first year as a Class A PGA pro, Bryce Fisher qualified for the 2026 PGA Professional Championship to be held at Bandon Dunes in April by taking 6th at the PNW PGA Pro Championship.

PGA Professional Austin Hurt of Wing Point G&CC (Bainbridge Island, WA) won the PNW PGA Professional Championship for the second time (2023), finishing at 19-under.

Bryce Fisher of Arrowhead Golf Club took sixth after firing a 69, 67, 69 to finish at 11-under (205) for the tournament.

“It really means a lot. I’ve never played in this event before, so qualifying for the first time—especially with Nationals being held at Bandon—is just the cherry on top,” Fisher said. “Bandon is an incredible place and will bring a great energy to the competition. I’m pumped to get out there and tear it up in April!”

The sixth-place finish earned Fisher a spot to directly into the 2026 PGA Professional Championship to be held April 26-29, 2026, at Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes.

“I felt good about my game. I drove the ball well and kept it in play, I was also able to minimize mistakes by putting well,” Fisher said. “The golf Course was in fantastic condition—it was a real treat to play on greens that were so smooth.”

This is the first year Fisher played in the event, as he recently got his Class A Membership, and it was the first year he was eligible to advance. He went through the Associate Program (which takes about 6 years for most) and earned a Class A Membership.

Members have gone through all the testing and bookwork to show they know every subject within the golf business, for example: Tournaments, Club Repair, Teaching, Turfgrass, Golf Cart Fleet, Customer Service, etc.

Fisher also qualified for the 77th Hudson Cup, which will be played at Willamette Valley Country Club, October 15-17.

“It truly means a lot to me. Many of the greatest players to come out of the Northwest have been part of this prestigious event, and to join them is something I don’t take lightly,” Fisher said. “Honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d even make the team—I had just earned my membership and only had a couple of events to gather enough points to qualify.”

Fisher played golf at Scottsdale Community College for 2 years before playing his last three years at Oregon State University. While at Scottsdale CC, Fisher’s team won the National Championship both years he was there.

“I did turn pro after college and played on a couple tours, The "gateway tour", the "Spanos Tour" and the "Korn ferry tour". It was called the "Nationwide Tour" then. Went to PGA Tour Q School 2 times.” Fisher added.

When asked do you think a PGA Tour event will make its way back to Oregon one day?

“I’d really love to see that happen,” Fisher said. “I played in the Nationwide event at Shadow Hills when I was younger, and having these kinds of events closer to home makes it so much more enjoyable.”
