There will also be opportunities to work with additional departments from time-to-time. The successful applicant will be required to travel to each PGA of Canada National Championship and other events as needed. Travel outside of Canada will be necessary.

Office days are 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. Championship days will begin between 5-6 a.m. and end between 8-10 p.m. every day of the week, including weekends and holidays.
NUMBER OF TOURNAMENTS:
The PGA of Canada conducts six national championships and manages one international championship annually, subject to change. The Championships Department is also responsible for the PGA of Canada Annual General Meeting and PGA of Canada Night which includes the National Awards.
