2027 Corporate Hospitality Support Internship

About the Role

Corporate hospitality is an important part of the championship experience, providing companies, clients, partners, and guests with premium spaces to engage throughout the week. This role supports the behind-the-scenes execution of these venues while giving interns hands-on exposure to planning, client management, hospitality operations, and the many USGA departments involved in championship execution.

Interns will represent the USGA with professionalism while communicating with clients, vendors, volunteers, and internal teams, troubleshooting needs in real time, and helping create a smooth, service-focused championship hospitality experience before, during, and after championship week.

Responsibilities

Pre-Championship Responsibilities

In the weeks leading up to the championship, interns will help prepare hospitality venues by supporting setup, build-out needs, facility cleaning, inspections, and client load-in. This work is highly hands-on and helps ensure each space is guest-ready and aligned with client expectations.

Championship Week Responsibilities

During championship week, interns will support daily hospitality operations, including access control, venue cleanliness, logistics, client requests, and real-time troubleshooting. Interns will also help coordinate with staff, vendors, and volunteers to keep hospitality spaces running smoothly.

Post-Championship Responsibilities

Following the championship, interns will support close-out by assisting with client load-out, hospitality space breakdown, and organization of remaining materials.

Pitch In Where Needed
