Max Hoffman Crowned 2024 PGT Mixed Games Champion

The PGT Mixed Games has crowned its newest series champion. Massachusetts' Max Hoffman topped the leaderboard to win the PGT Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport.

Hoffman follows in the footsteps of Dan Zack and Chino Rheem as previous PGT Mixed Games champions, and even had to fade a late surge from Dan Zack, who needed to reach heads-up play in the 10-Game Championship to overtake Hoffman.

According to The Hendon Mob, Hoffman has amassed $587,761 in lifetime tournament earnings. At this PGT Mixed Games series, Hoffman earned $376,300 in prize money, and combined with the October series, he has won more than $430,000 in PGT Mixed Games events.

Hoffman kicked off the 2024 PGT Mixed Games with a fifth-place finish in Event #2 before he collected his career-largest score in Event #5, where he won $100,800 for finishing runner-up to John Racener. Hoffman immediately jumped into the next event, and although he matched his runner-up finish—this time to Jerry Wong—he improved his career-best score by pocketing $103,400 in prize money.

Now sitting on top of the PGT Mixed Games leaderboard, Hoffman would score his third consecutive cash when he finished sixth in the Dealer's Choice for $28,200 to extend his lead. The PGT Mixed Games marquee event saw Hoffman dominate the final day of the $25,300 10-Game Championship, but his luck would end in fourth place. It would again improve on his career-best score as he earned $153,750 for his efforts.
