Marshfield Native Dan Hastreiter Named WPGA Golf Professional of the Year

Thursday, February 5th, 2026 -- 10:42 AM

Marshfield Native Dan Hastreiter of Blackwolf Run has earned the WPGA Golf Professional of the Year Award. 

Hastreiter, the assistant general manager and head golf professional at Blackwolf Run, joined the Kohler Golf team in 2006 and has primarily worked at Blackwolf since, although he spent five years at sister-facility Whistling Straits.  On a day-to-day basis Hastreiter’s duties focus on two broad yet super-important tasks: managing his staff of about 80 individuals and taking responsibility for the overall guest experience. 

Right now, Hastreiter has eight individuals on his staff in various levels of the PGA Associate education program. He pointed out, proudly, that just a few years ago there were only two. All of them have dreams of being a head pro or teaching pro or director of golf someday. 

Hastreiter also won the 2018 Assistant Professional of the Year Award.

All the Wisconsin Section of the PGA of America awards will be presented Feb. 23 at the Wisconsin PGA Section’s Annual Awards Ceremony at Glacier Canyon Conference Center at Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
