Internship
The DICK’S Sporting Goods Open Internship Program has had great success over the past fifteen years and interns have played an integral role in the success of this event. Past interns have remained in contact with the tournament and return year after year to help with the event again. Many have gone on to other organizations such as DICK’S Sporting
Goods, MLB, NFL, NASCAR and other PGA Tour Events. Interns work under the guidance of tournament staff to assist with various tasks and the special events occurring before and during tournament week. Interns are not tied down to one position and will have the ability to gain experience in all facets of this nationally recognized event.
The work environment is fast-paced and demanding, but interns gain valuable experience in the fields of Sports Marketing and Event Management. Interns will learn all the logistics it takes to put on a PGA TOUR Champions event and they will be able to network with people to help jump-start their career in the sports industry!
