Every day first thing in the morning the superintendent would post your job then tell everyone there jobs at 5 am. You would go do your first job. Then  they would give you a second job which would typically last the rest of the shift if not you would get a third job and the day would end at 1 pm. I already new a lot about golf maintenance but I did learn more stuff with the management that was there when I was hired on. I learned nothing after the new management came in. When the new golf course maintenance  director and his new superintendent staff came in everything was a secret and everything was micro managed and we were watched like a hawk. The previous golf course maintenance director and his staff of superintendents gave us our jobs and had all the trust in the world every employee new how to do there jobs and do them right, safe, and in a timely matter even when it came time for the Valero Texas Open. The previous management would always tell us how great we were doing in our job. The new management would not do such a thing like that. A lot of us felt as if we were just a body to get the work done. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the management. The previous management was always organized and new what they were doing. The new management was very disorganized which was very frustrating. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the previous management and the camaraderie that us regular employees had to make for ourselves. Also getting to see the setup of the PGA tour buildings, TV crews, and seeing all the PGA professionals was great. The hourly pay was poor. We were over worked and underpaid.

If you have the talent, mental toughness, willingness to travel, work hard at your sport, play sensible and wise playing professional golf is the greatest way to make a living.  Wouldnt do a thing different. Loved it, did well always finishing in top 100 in national on money list. 

Typical day was spent Thursday-hopefully thru Sunday playing a game for your living. 

Learned work eihic, honor, how to internalize great pressure, respect for rules, respect for others, humility, etiquette, and the ability to focus-meaning not on the gallery but down your target line blocking out the gallery during preshot routine. 

Hardest part of the job was playing badly Thur/Friday not making the cut to play the weekend, and no check. 

Most enjoyable same as above , got to do my lifes passion and play professional golf to make my living.

This is a private golf club located on the Johnson estate grounds in Princeton NJ.  Centered is the Johnson residential home transformed into a banquet and dining facility and golf clubhouse with locker rooms.  An 18 hole professional golf course maintained year round by a full time golf-course maintenance staff is meticulously manicured.  Full time 24 hour a day, on site security handles all oddities that occur as part of their regular security and escort duties.  PGA Tour golf staff handles pro-shop and golf activities for the members and guests.  Lessons and golf range facilities on site as well.  Great location for Weddings and business meetings year round.
Primary management located in Florida but on site GM and department managers lead their teams to successful year ends.  Very relaxed professional atmosphere but at times can be stressful.

I started at the TOUR in HR working as a Floater. A floater 'floats' to other departments to assist with long term leaves from other employees or in large company projects. 

I had assisted several departments by June 2016, but was asked by the Broadcasting department to stay full time. I worked as a Coordinator/ Assistant. I handled all of our Sponsor commercial tracking by data entry and cross checking to ensure we were meeting contractual needs. I also oversaw communication with our network sponsors (CBS, NBC, and Golf Channel) to highlight opportunities for productivity between our companies. Basically I kept things running smoothly so my higher ups could travel to the tournaments and do their jobs without worrying.

I enjoyed working at PGATOUR in the entertainment television department. The coworkers were knowledgeable and friendly as well as managers. The work was challenging but exciting, especially in the live television setting. I was trusted to perform and not micromanaged, because everyone is expected to be highly skilled in their ability. The hours were sometimes long, but it was always known ahead of time and not sprung on you last minute. Overall I really enjoyed my time at PGATOUR entertainment, made friends, and satisfied my love of video production and live television production.

People work here because of the name. Once inside you have traveled back in time. The culture is stiff, cold and uninviting. They do not promote individualism. It's like a cult. Employees are not encouraged to talk to each other. In fact it's frowned upon. It's the quietest place I've ever worked. Management rules by fear and intimidation. If you challenge the status quo you will not last. Have great ideas? They are not welcome here. I was emotionally traumatized by the time I left. I was physically sick. There is no collaboration or team work. Management does not share information. It's a need to know only basis. Every process and procedure is outdated and archaic. This is not a forward thinking organization. I was also paid below market. It's a man's world at the TOUR. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to work there.

Even though the PGA TOUR has a very corporate structure, working in operations provides the opportunity to spend your days behind a desk and outside, on-site working on a beautiful golf course and managing the build out of large structures. There are many perks with the job including free food, a lot of gear and many chances to build strong connection with the wide array of people you work with.

On the down side, the company is very cut-throat and will tend to use their lower level employees at their disposal.

I feel honored to be a part of the PGA TOUR. I feel respected and valued by leadership. The benefits are great and we’re even fortunate enough to still have a pension. Our new building and surrounding landscape is unparalleled. Our Commissioner really cares about us. Honestly,  it’s tough to think of anything negative about the TOUR but I guess if I had to, I would say the one negative is that there is not a huge amount of diversity. Leadership is making genuine efforts so it’s definitely improving but it would be nice to see more females and people of color in top leadership roles. I would highly recommend working here. 

Hire staff for large events throughout the United States. Go over job duties and company policies with new hires. Hardest part of the job is travelling 6 months out of the year. Most enjoyable part of the job is meeting and working with employees that return to work other events with me throughout the country. Training assistants who work with me on events and seeing them succeed on their own is gratifying.

Our culture is more focused and productive, yet relaxed than many work cultures today.  PGA Tour takes care of the small details, so employees can focus on their work and what really matters.  Our technology support is still in house, so our needs are met in a timely and constructive way.  Our management communications are consistent and balanced. It truly is a company that still balances the needs of the customer and the employees, while keeping an eye on the bottom line.  Respect and integrity are valued.
