Dear Volunteers:

 

Thank you!

The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday is turning 50 and we are indebted that you will be taking time out of your busy lives to lend your talent to support the tournament and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Please accept a heartfelt thank you from all involved with the Memorial, including the Nicklaus family who are looking forward to being with all of us the week of May 26^th.  As we enter the 50^th playing we have a lot to be thankful for – the Memorial remains one of the premier tournaments in professional golf, is supported hundreds of companies and thousands of people, is a mainstay on the central Ohio sports calendar, a must attend event, and is supported by the best volunteer organizations on the PGA TOUR. Without your commitment the tournament’s success would not be possible. 

Last year, the Memorial, once again, was able to generate over $3.9 million for Nationwide Children’s Hospital with over $40 million contributed since the Memorial’s inception. Please join the Memorial staff in taking pride in the results the Memorial has produced over many years – we have achieved this success together through a dedication that is found in each of the over 3,400 volunteers. 

I join the entire Memorial staff in looking forward to being with you for another great Memorial Tournament the week of May 26^th – June 1^st. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Daniel P. Sullivan

Executive Director

 

 

From the PGA TOUR:

We are excited to announce the launch of a first-of-its-kind PGA TOUR Volunteer website on PGATOUR.COM to help amplify volunteer engagement in both content and opportunities.

 

New PGA TOUR Volunteer Website:

 

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the PGA TOUR and are critical to the success of the PGA TOUR business model, allowing us to give back to charities in each local community and it is vital for us to ensure we attract and retain the most qualified, diverse, and capable volunteers for generations to come!

 

Each week, thousands of individuals devote their time, talent and passion helping to run all aspects of a PGA TOUR tournament – ranging from Competition Support and Guest Services to Concessions, Pre-Course Set-up, Player Registration, Hospitality, Transportation, and more. This website has been created to celebrate our volunteers and amplify their impact nationwide.

 

PGA TOUR Volunteer Website highlights:

• Increase awareness for volunteer opportunities across tournaments on the PGA TOUR, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA TOUR Champions on one centralized, user-friendly platform. 
• Deliver compelling information on the personal rewards of volunteering, opportunities to give back to local charities, and volunteer appreciation benefits.
• Ability for volunteers to connect and share their volunteer story as well as sign up for the PGA TOURs quarterly Volunteer Newsletter – THE V.I.P (Sign up here)
• Facilitate volunteer storytelling to be utilized by broadcast media and other digital platforms for all tournaments.
• Closely align volunteers with the PGA TOUR brand in addition to their individual tournaments
• Provide compelling volunteer resources:
• Volunteer Service Excellence
• Common Purpose preview
• Reach Higher Standards Service Card (Safety, Competition, & Hospitality)
• Golf Etiquette for those new to the game of golf.
