This is your chance to be part of something bigger; a legacy of excellence, a culture of belonging, and a sport that’s evolving for the future.

Golf like many sports, hasn’t always felt like a space where everyone sees themselves and we know that women and other underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. But at the PGA, we’re committed to changing that.
At the PGA, our belief is simple: “All golf is golf, and all of us can be golfers.” That philosophy extends to our team too. We’re building an organisation where diverse voices, backgrounds and perspectives are truly welcomed and where people can bring their whole selves to the work we do.
So, if this role excites you, and you feel you could contribute even if you don’t tick every box we’d love to hear from you. Let’s have a conversation. You might be just what we’re looking for.
