Packy broke through with his first PBA title on March 24, 2023, winning the PBA Kokomo Classic. Qualifying as the top seed, Hanrahan won his lone finals match in convincing fashion, 268–214, over Matt Ogle. The $25,000 first prize was Packy's biggest single check to date. On May 11, Hanrahan won his second title of the 2023 season, capturing the Roth-Holman Doubles Championship with partner and fellow Wichita State alum, Mitch Hupé. The duo grabbed the lead in qualifying, with Hanrahan pacing the field at 3,082 pins over 12 games (a 256.8 average and just one pin shy of the PBA's 12-game qualifying round record, set by Mike Aulby in 1996). The pair maintained the top seed through 12 games of match play on their way to a wire-to-wire win, topping the team of Sean Rash and Matt Ogle in the finals. Through the first 15 events of the 2023 season, Hanrahan ranked sixth in Tour points. Based on his Tour points over two seasons, Packy qualified for his first PBA Tour Finals event in 2023 as the No. 7 seed. He would finish the June 24–25 tournament in a tie for fourth place. In 19 events of the 2023 season, Hanrahan finished sixth in points and cashed a new career-high $98,100.

During the 2026 PBA Tour season, Hanrahan qualified as the fifth seed for the Cheetah championship in the 17th PBA World Series of Bowling. On May 9, he captured his third career tour title, defeating Chase Nadeau and Zachary Tackett in the quarterfinals, defeating Kris Prather in the semifinals, and then sweeping Matt Sanders 2–0 in the race-to-two-points championship match. This victory also marks Hanrahan’s first televised PBA Tour title win.

He began practicing weekly with his father to improve his game. Packy's high school coach, Wayne Gioffre, stated, "He started out as an average bowler his first year, then really dove into the sport."
