PGA TOUR, Inc. – Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
The PGA TOUR Internship Program is open to all qualified college students and is committed to attaining greater diversity within our organization as well as the golf industry. Our internships are designed to expose college students to the business side of golf that supports one of the world’s leading sports brand – the PGA TOUR. While a love of the game is certainly appreciated, knowing how to play is not a prerequisite for the internship. Your internship experience will be enhanced by activities and projects that will allow you to gain a full picture of how the PGA TOUR and other golf organizations work together to support our players, charities and events on the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and the Web.com Tour.
