Earlier this week, before the @pgachampionship got underway, our PGA WORKS Fellows pulled back the curtain at Aronimink Golf Club to see what all goes in to making a major championship happen.
From the media center and volunteer ops, the broadcast compound and more. The Fellows got a glimpse in to what the industry can offer to build a meaningful career, proving that success can start anywhere and lead to a lifelong career — both in golf and beyond.
Success starts at the @pgaworkscollegiate — for PGA WORKS Fellows Shandiin Harper and Maria Villamil, this week at @theparkwestpalm was an opportunity to see the Championship from a new perspective. Working behind the scenes all week long, they share the significance behind this event and how it has shaped their paths in the game to set them up for what’s next in their careers.
You can read more about both of their journeys at the link in our bio.
As we begin the final round of the @pgaworkscollegiate , we are looking back at our time together before the first tee shot was struck.
We were proud to host the 120 student-athletes down the road at @tglgolf for the PGA WORKS Beyond The Green presented by CastleOak Securities and @kohler . This career exploration event opens doors to new possibilities and shows us that golf is more than just a game and 18 holes — it’s a connecting point for all of us.
Every year, the @pgaworkscollegiate creates more than just memorable moments on the golf course — it showcases all the industry has to offer. Thanks to organizations like CastleOak Securities, we can continue our mission of creating these opportunities for young leaders of all backgrounds.
For PGA Head Golf Professional, Clay Myers – hosting this Championship at The Park is a dream come true, and something he hopes inspires future leaders now and for generations to come.
Full circle at @theparkwestpalm — for PGA Head Golf Professional Clay Myers and PGA Director of Coaching Justin Martin, the @pgaworkscollegiate serves a critical mission for student-athletes year after year.
As past participants, the two now find themselves working side-by-side and hosting the very same championship that once shaped their future careers. Read more about their stories at the link in our bio.
It’s easy to get inspired about the future when this was the experience we had last night at @tglgolf for our @pgaworkscollegiate Beyond the Green Career Showcase & Welcome Celebration presented by CastleOak Securities and @kohler . From the inspirational conversations to the lasting memories we made — we’re grateful for a space where dreaming big is the standard.
A big thank you to actor and comedian, @anthonyanderson for joining us in an engaging conversation that left us feeling motivated and energized for what our future holds.
As hosts for this year’s @pgaworkscollegiate , The Park in West Palm Beach is the perfect place to get started on your golf journey. PGA of America Golf Professional, Justin Martin, who serves as the Director of Coaching at The Park, talks about why hosting Youth Day is so important to their team.
It’s Youth Day at the @theparkwestpalm ! No better way to kick things off for the week at the @pgaworkscollegiate than by creating memories and a space for golf’s next generation. We’re just getting started.
There’s a lot to be said for leaving a legacy. For Maria Villamil, golf runs deep in her family roots. Growing up in Colombia she set out from a young age to achieve her dream of playing collegiate golf in the United States.
After achieving that dream and more, little did she know where the game would take her. From competing in the @pgaworkscollegiate to pursuing a meaningful career in golf through the PGA WORKS Fellowship with @golfhouseky . Read more about Maria’s story at the link in our bio.
Sometimes golf can find us in unexpected ways and take us along a journey we never even thought was possible. From student-athlete, to pre-dental student, to now working in golf. The game has certainly created new opportunities for PGA WORKS Fellow Shandiin Harper.
As a four-time player in the @pgaworkscollegiate , she has seen first-hand what the game and industry can offer. Now as we gear up for the championship’s 39th edition next week at The Park in West Palm Beach, FL, Shandiin will get the chance to help bring the championship to life — creating the same experience for students whose shoes she once filled.
