About this role: The USGA is hiring five (5) Championship Interns for the 2027 season. From February through October, interns carry real responsibility for the administration of our national championships — managing qualifying, serving the competitors and Allied Golf Associations, and working on site at championships alongside the staff and volunteers who conduct them. For anyone considering a career in golf administration, this internship is among the most direct routes into the industry, with hands-on training in sports management, championship operations, volunteer management and customer service. Travel is a substantial component of the role — an estimated 45 to 50+ days across the season in support of multiple championships. Relocation to New Jersey is not requir
