Kaleb Gorbhan

Head Teaching Professional
PGA of Alberta

Vancouver Open Champion

Kaleb grew up in a small Northern BC town and was introduced to the game at a very young age. During his junior years, he earned a NCAA Division 1 golf scholarship to attend the University of Nevada.

There, he became an integral member of the university’s most successful golf team in history. 

Following graduation, Kaleb turned professional and spent five years competing on tours worldwide. During his playing career he clinched victory in 10 professional tournaments and earned memberships on both the PGA Tour Canada and PGA Tour Latin America. In the 2020 season, he won at the prestigious Vancouver Open, capping off the year with six wins. 

Throughout his journey, Kaleb got the opportunity to gain insights from some of the greatest instructors and players in the world, who had success on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, and in major events. The time spent with these individuals gave him insights of not just the golf swing but also how to play the game. Today, Kaleb has redirected his focus towards assisting golfers of all levels in achieving their golfing aspirations.
