Some names fade.
Some names echo.

Mulligan became immortal.

In 1924, at the Country Club of Montréal, David B. Mulligan took a second shot that would quietly change the language of sport. By 1928, at Winged Foot Golf Club, that act of character took flight. From that fairway, the Mulligan spread across the golfing world and beyond. A simple second chance became a permanent part of the game.

But the man behind the name was even greater.

David B. Mulligan was known as the Dean of the North American Hotel Industry. His career carried him from Chicago to New York, Louisville to Ottawa. He served as Superintendent of Canadian National Hotels coast to coast, owned Montréal’s legendary Windsor Hotel, managed the Waldorf Astoria, and led Biltmore Hotels and Realty Hotels Inc. His reputation for excellence matched the grandeur of the institutions he guided.

David B. Mulligan & Co. exists to honor that life—fully and faithfully.

We are family. This is not borrowed history. It is our name, our heritage, and our responsibility. Our Beaver Mark logo reflects the pillars of his remarkable story: proud Canadian roots, New York hospitality leadership, stewardship of a storied hotel dynasty, and the origin of golf’s most iconic tradition.

Now we approach a defining moment.

In 2028, the golf world will return to Winged Foot for the U.S. Open—100 years after the Mulligan took hold there and began its global journey. All golf paths lead to Winged Foot in 2028. David B. Mulligan & Co. will celebrate the man and the legend throughout the years leading to that historic championship, culminating where it all soared into sporting history.

This is more than a commemoration. It is a centennial celebration of character.
