Charles Schwab Cup Championship opens volunteer registration for 2017 event

Championship seeks volunteers to support PGA TOUR Champions finale

The Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the season finale for the PGA TOUR Champions and the culminating event of the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, is seeking volunteers to support and assist with various on-course and behind-the-scenes aspects of the event. The Charles Schwab Cup Championship will make its debut at Phoenix Country Club November 8-12, 2017.

The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is seeking 550 volunteers; volunteers support every element of the tournament, from tracking statistics, keeping crowds quiet, greeting guests and feeding fans, to keeping the grounds beautiful throughout the event. Without the hard work and the countless hours given by the volunteers during the week, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship would not be possible.

“Volunteering at a world-class event like the Charles Schwab Cup Championship is a rewarding opportunity to get involved and positively impact the community,” said Tiffany Nelson, executive director of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. “Volunteers are an integral piece of the operation of the championship, and this event would not be possible without the tireless efforts of the hundreds of volunteers that commit their time before, during and after the event.”

Interested parties can register as a volunteer for $50; a fee that helps offset expenses so the Charles Schwab Cup Championship can donate as much as possible back into the community. With the registration fee, volunteers will receive a uniform (golf polo, jacket and one visor or hat), meal vouchers and a volunteer credential allowing access to the championship all week as well as a weekly grounds ticket for a guest as a great add-on in their package.

 Additionally, each registered volunteer will receive a commemorative pin, apparel bag, and an invitation to the volunteer appreciation party. Volunteer opportunities are available before, during and after tournament week, and every volunteer is required to work a minimum of three shifts, each ranging from four to six hours.
