Our Favorite Projects
Caroline
People Team Intern
" My favorite project this summer was planning and participating in Intern Give Back Day, where we volunteered at Minnie’s Food Pantry to serve the local community. Working alongside my fellow interns, I was grateful for the opportunity to give back while building meaningful connections. This experience reflected the PGA’s shared values of having each other’s back and getting better every day, making it a truly rewarding way to serve others. "
Ethan
Enterprise Technology Intern
“My favorite project of the summer was working on a section benchmarking tool. This was a web application that showed financials, membership, junior league, and surveys all in one centralized place. I really enjoyed going around the office and learning how to represent the different departments and getting the data in a correct repeatable way. This project made me step out of my comfort zone and learn how to communicate what exactly I needed. ”
Lathika
Career Services Intern
"My favorite project of the summer was working on ExecuSearch and the Career Profile. With ExecuSearch, I was able to collaborate with leadership to update our business plans, create a marketing plan, and a section wide marketing compliance plan. I also built a database of over 500 premiere facilities across the country to help create new KPIs to capture the high-end market and also to facilitate relationship building and succession planning. I had the incredible opportunity to work on the launch planning and marketing of the Career Profile. ”

Our Biggest Takeaways
Hayden
Player Engagement Intern
“My biggest takeaway from this summer was the PGA’s commitment to both professional and personal development. Everyone I met was incredibly generous with their time, always willing to answer questions, explain their role, and share their knowledge and advice. Beyond day-to-day experiences, we had the opportunity to attend workshops and meet with many departments, giving us a deeper understanding of how the organization operates and exposing us to a wide range of career paths. ”
Emily
Public Relations Intern
“My time at headquarters has been truly transformative. Getting real-world experience in the golf industry is an opportunity most people only dream of, and it gave me an unmatched look behind the scenes. From developing media guides and writing press releases to conducting interviews on the ground at the 2026 Junior PGA Championship, I gained a deep appreciation for what it takes to power one of the largest sports organizations in the world. My biggest takeaway was not just seeing the scale of the business, but learning directly from the incredible people who guided and mentored me along the way. ”
Mia
Graphic Design Intern
“ My biggest takeaway from this summer was learning how to protect the PGA of America brand while effectively communicating design decisions across different teams. Listening to team discussions gave me valuable insight into the behind-the-scenes strategy required to maintain brand integrity and align design solutions with client goals on tight timelines. My team was welcoming and trusted me with significant responsibility, helping me build confidence as a professional. Combined with the lasting connections I made within the intern cohort, this experience served as an ideal foundation for my career. ”
