We are looking for volunteering enthusiasts with a passion to help and together create a fantastic Valero Texas Open experience for PGA TOUR players, corporate sponsors and spectators alike. During the week, you'll make new friends, get a behind-the-scenes look at a PGA TOUR tournament and witness many of the world's top golfers as they compete right here in your back yard!
You will receive benefits as part of the Volunteer Program presented by Frost including grounds admission for a guest, complimentary beverages and food during your shifts, a volunteer polo & hat, tournament access all week, and more! Volunteers who work over 18 hours receive one transferable appreciation golf round and those who volunteer over 30 hours receive two rounds of golf at TPC San Antonio.
With so many options, it's hard to choose just one! Here are just a handful of committees you can join: Caddie Services, Gallery Management, Hospitality, Refreshers, and Tournament Ambassadors.
For those who have already registered to volunteer - thank you! We look forward to seeing you this Friday and Saturday at uniform distribution. If you haven't already ready registered, register by March 16 to secure your spot!
