About The Position

The Utah Golf Association is seeking a USGA P.J. Boatwright Tournament Intern to join its team for the golf season. The internship provides exposure to golf administration and the preparation, conduct, and follow-up of golf tournaments. Interns travel throughout Utah to help conduct competitions and qualifying events and support programs and services for the golf community.

The internship lasts four months, from early May to early September, with start and end dates flexible based on the school schedule. It is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and remote work is not available. Interns must arrange local housing and provide their own automobile transportation.
