Spring 2027 Internship- Golf Tournament Operations-FREE TRAVEL and HOUSING
About the role
The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) was founded in 2007 to provide junior golfers ages 8‑18 with competitive play on exceptional courses and superb hospitality, aiming to make every event memorable. The tour is the largest junior golf tour in the world, hosting more 2‑day nationally ranked events than any other tour, and has partnered with Nexus, Tiger Woods, and Justin Timberlake to grow the game globally.
