Bryan Goebel (born October 15, 1961 in Kansas City, Kansas) is a right-handed professional ten-pin bowler who currently resides in Shawnee, Kansas. He is a member of the Professional Bowlers Association. Having previously bowled on the PBA Tour, he now participates on the PBA50 Tour (formerly PBA Senior Tour). He has topped $1 million in career PBA earnings.^[1] Goebel's release style is that of a power stroker. He has the rev-rate and hook pattern of a cranker, but uses the smooth slide step of a stroker.

PBA Tour

Goebel won his first PBA tournament at the 1990 Miller Lite Challenge. The following season, he won the Kessler Classic for his second title. In 1993, he had a chance to join an exclusive group of bowlers who have rolled a perfect 300 game in a televised PBA event. In the second match of that year's Japan Cup, he left a 10-pin on his final shot for a 299 game.^[2]

Goebel won four titles in the 1994 PBA season and cashed a career-high $172,182, but was beaten out for PBA Player of the Year honors by Norm Duke, who won five titles that same year. He won the Tucson Open in back-to-back seasons (1995 and 1996). He won his ninth title and lone PBA major at the 1998 PBA Tournament of Champions, held that season in his native Kansas.^[1]

At the PBA Medford Open, held in January, 2003,^[3] Goebel won his tenth PBA title, defeating Danny Wiseman 257–212.^[4] This victory made him eligible for inclusion into the PBA Hall of Fame.^[5]

Goebel served as a color analyst for ESPN on a few broadcasts in the 1990s. He filled in for Marshall Holman in 1996 when Holman won his final PBA title{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}}.

PBA Hall of Fame

After more than a decade of eligibility, Goebel was voted into the PBA Hall of Fame in December, 2016. He was officially inducted on February 13, 2017.^[6] In his induction speech, Goebel spoke about the difficult decision to become a full-time touring pro:

"In 1988, I had been a pro bowler for eight years and didn't have a title. I quit my job and decided if I was ever going to be a pro, I had to do it now. I missed a cut and came home whining. My wife Kelly said, 'well, you quit your job; you’d better go out and bowl better.’"^[7]

PBA50 Tour

After participating in 50 tournaments on the PBA50 Tour without a win, Goebel won his first PBA50 Tour title on May 16, 2017 at the PBA50 Miller Lite Players Championship in Indianapolis. This is considered a major title for PBA50 players. Qualifying as the #2 seed, Goebel defeated top seed and fellow PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III in the final match.^[8]
