Golf Tournament Jobs

Working a golf tournament job is a great way to experience your love for golf while earning a few bucks too.

Like many tournament jobs, working at a golf tournament will often involve your having a pre-existing relationship with the venue where the tournament takes place. Very few people who work at a golf tournament travel with the tour. Working for a golf course that hosts a tournament might mean working at the club house, doing sales, having a serving job, management, landscaping, providing customer services and so forth. If you want to work at a host golf course, apply directly to that golf course. Understand that golf course jobs are in high demand and usually courses such as those that the PGA tour will play on, require many years of experience in the golf industry. Also keep in mind that there are usually a large number of volunteers that help staff PGA tournaments and that most permanent golf course jobs are full- or part-time – they are not for only the duration of the tournament. To gain some event experience and enjoy your love for golf look for tournament volunteer opportunities or a full-time job at a golf course.

Golf Tournament Volunteers

To be a PGA Volunteer, the PGA Tour suggests applying directly to that tournament for information regarding volunteering for an event.
