$10,000 and VIP Access at Wyndham Championship

Many jobs involve a desk, but this one includes a fairway. Imagine the sound of a flawless tee shot: Wyndham Rewards, the title sponsor of the upcoming 86th Wyndham Championship, allows one golf enthusiast to serve as the tournament director's assistant for the day. In return for their hard work, this position offers $10,000 in cash, exclusive access, professional-level perks, and an unforgettable experience that extends well beyond the last round.

This sought-after position goes beyond simply folding polos or serving Arnold Palmers. It entails wielding a clipboard and wearing a headset to support the conductor behind the scenes who creates the magic at Sedgefield Country Club. Additionally, the inaugural Wyndham Rewards Fairway Fellow will aid in crafting content for tournament social media platforms. In return, they will earn a $10,000 salary along with various benefits, such as an upgrade to Wyndham Rewards Diamond membership, a $500 shopping spree in the Pro Shop, all-expenses-paid travel and hotel accommodations, and exclusive access to a VIP hospitality suite for the duration of the week, including access to Club Wyndham Beach.
